Design & Presentation

This eight-year-old bottling is part of the extended Glasgow 1770 range, presented at batch strength to highlight its pure, spirit-led character without excessive cask influence. The packaging aligns with the distillery’s signature style, emphasizing both tradition and experimental flair.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky matures solely in first fill ex-bourbon barrels, showcasing a fruity and tropical core typical of Glasgow Distillery’s double distilled spirit. The lightly peated element adds a gentle lick of sweet smoke, creating a harmonious balance. Expect notes of rich vanilla, floral honey, vibrant citrus fruit, buttery shortbread, and tropical undertones. This combination leads to a long, warming finish that captures the distillery’s commitment to quality and innovation.
