Glasgow 1770 Bourbon Cask Matured

The Glasgow 1770 Single Malt range is proud to introduce its latest expression: Bourbon Cask Matured. This ongoing bottling artfully combines equal proportions of the distillery’s two whisky production styles—unpeated and peated single malt.

Batch 01 is crafted from a total of six casks, each fully matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels. The resulting single malt offers a complex and layered profile, with rich notes of vanilla, floral honey, sweet smoke, citrus fruits, and shortbread, complemented by underlying tropical nuances.

Glasgow Distillery Co

The Glasgow Distillery Co was established in 2013 becoming the first distillery in the City of Glasgow for over 100 years. The craft of distillation is not however new to this part of Scotland. In 1770 Glasgow was a thriving hub for business and trade and it was then when the original Glasgow Distillery was established in Dundashills.

Records form that time shows that there were well over 150 "licenced" distilleries in Scotland with many more illicit ones. In 1825 the Glasgow Distillery Company took over the stills st Dundashills and for number of years ahead the distillery operated under different guises. In 1899 a number of stills were increased to expand production however following the great depression, prohibition and two world wars the distillery closed its doors for ever.

In 2011 the 'founding partners' envisaged an opportunity to build a brand new distillery in the heart of Glasgow with the idea to produce high quality malt whisky and premium gin. Today their first Glasgow gin is making its presence felt on the Scottish market and abroad.
