Clydesdale distillery, located on the Isle of Islay, Scotland, was founded in 1825 by Todd & Paterson. Despite its historical significance, the distillery's operations ceased in 1919, marking the end of its production. Throughout its years of activity, Clydesdale became known for contributing to the rich whisky heritage of Islay, a region renowned for its peaty and smoky expressions. The distillery's closure was part of a broader trend affecting many distilleries during the early 20th century. Clydesdale had a production capacity that allowed it to craft both single grain and single malt whiskies, with a notable focus on the signature Islay character. The distillery was particularly recognized for its peaty and sweet flavor profile, evident in its expressions that often showcased intense peat smoke on the nose and palate, culminating in a sweet finish. Among its notable offerings were the Clydesdale 12 Years and 24 Years, as well as Ben Bracken expressions, which continue to represent the distillery’s legacy in the whisky world.
