The Glasgow Distillery’s production started in 2015 in the south-west of the city. Their first single malt ‘Glasgow 1770 Original’ launched in 2018 and in 2020 the distillery was named Distillery of the Year at the Scottish Whisky Awards.

This dram is part of their limited edition 'Small Batch Series' which explores how the Glasgow spirit styles interact with different cask types. The original, peated and triple distilled drams, made from British malted barley with Scottish water from Loch Katrine, are annually finished in a range of interesting casks, showcasing the range of flavour within the Glasgow spirit.

This Cognac-finish release is a six year old bottling and a marriage of five casks: two peated and three unpeated (all double distilled). The whisky within these casks spent over three years in first fill ex-bourbon barrels before finishing in French Cognac casks for almost three and a half years. The Cognac finish creates notes of fresh fruit, caramel, toffee and a slight nuttiness.

Nose: Notes of red apples and poached pear with soft vanilla ice cream, a dash of runny honey, and a hint of floral sweet smoke.

Palate: Creamy and smooth with toffee apple and poached pear, leading to rich salted caramel and baked apple crumble.

Finish: Elegant and delicate with honeydew melon, lemon zest and apple crumble accompanied by a light oak spice and a welcome wisp of sweet smoke.
