Glasgow Distillery

Glasgow Distillery – Pioneers of Glasgow Whisky

Glasgow Distillery was founded in 2012 with an ambitious goal: to restore Glasgow’s storied distilling tradition and create premium spirits that are celebrated worldwide. Located on the outskirts of the city, the distillery unites a proud history with a contemporary vision of craftsmanship, quality, and flavour experience. It takes its name from the original Glasgow Distillery, which dates back to 1770, thereby bridging past and future.

Authenticity, Innovation and Uncompromising Quality

At Glasgow Distillery, everything revolves around authenticity, innovation and uncompromising quality. A small, dedicated team produces every spirit—from single malt whisky to gin, rum and botanical vodka—entirely in-house with a focus on sustainability. The distillery is renowned for its inventive approach, yet it never loses sight of the traditional Scottish values that underpin its craft.

Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glasgow 1770 Single Malt is the distillery’s flagship and exemplar of its pursuit of top-tier quality and versatility. Crafted in small batches from premium Scottish barley and the purest Loch Katrine spring water, the Signature Range comprises three core expressions—each with its own distinct character and style.

Glasgow 1770 The Original

The Original is a modern take on classic craftsmanship. It matures first in ex-bourbon casks before receiving a virgin oak finish. The result is a rich, layered spirit bottled without chill filtration and in natural colour, revealing notes of honey, vanilla, fresh orchard fruit and delicate spices, supported by hints of crème brûlée and pear and a long, complex finish.

Glasgow 1770 Peated

For lovers of smoky whisky, the Peated expression is made from malted barley dried over peat fire, imparting a pronounced smokiness. Double distillation refines the spirit, which delivers deep notes of turf smoke, dark chocolate and warm spice. Like the Original, it is non-chill filtered and retains its natural colour to preserve purity and intensity.

Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled

The Triple Distilled variant highlights the distillery’s innovative spirit. A three-fold distillation yields an elegant, soft body. The palate is bright and fresh with artistic floral and citrus accents. Its complex, silky smooth texture makes this bottling especially indulgent and layered.
