About Strathclyde
“Strathclyde distillery is a grain spirit distillery producing PBS that will make grain whisky after maturation, located in the Gorbals district of Glasgow, Scotland.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading G10.403 means cask 403 from distillery G10. That distillery is Strathclyde, in Lowland. More on Strathclyde at Wikipedia.
