Origin: Scotland

Distillery: The Glasgow Distillery Co.

Each year, the team at the Glasgow distillery fills a wide range of interesting and unique cask types, experimenting with their influence on the various styles of whisky the distillery produces. For this limited edition, its unpeated, double-distilled single malt was initially filled into a pair of bourbon barrels in February 2020, then re-racked for a generous one year and ten months finish in Greek syrah (shiraz) red wine barriques from the island of Evia. Bottled at a hearty 59.3% ABV, it’s a characterful sipper, laden with oaken vanilla and caramel, joined by jammy dark fruits, chocolate, and spice.

Distillery Information

The Glasgow Distillery, founded in 2012 by Liam Hughes and Mike Hayward, aimed to revive premium spirits production in Glasgow. The city, once a whisky hub, had its original Glasgow Distillery closed in 1902. The new distillery, the first to open and release whisky in the city since then, is independently owned and employs 17 people, including six distillers and a full-time cooper. The distillery produces three styles of whisky throughout the year: double distilled with unpeated malted barley, double distilled with peated malted barley, and triple distilled with unpeated malted barley. This variety allows for a wide spectrum of flavours in their single malt whiskies. Barley is sourced from UK suppliers, and the grain is milled and mashed in a stainless steel semi-lauter tun with a staged water addition to maximise sugar extraction.
