Latest Addition to the Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series

Following a sweep of award wins for our Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, including a recent gold at the International Spirits Challenge, we are reinvigorating previous cask experimentations with finishes in Cognac, Tokaji and Golden Beer casks offering an insight into our broad range of flavour profiles.

Our previous forays into Cognac, Tokaji and Golden Beer cask finishes were so popular that we decided to experiment further. We’re privileged at The Glasgow Distillery to produce three distinct spirit ‘house styles’ - unpeated, peated and triple distilled. Extending onto the previous releases, we’re now showcasing these exciting cask finishes using new spirit styles - some of which have not been tasted outside of the distillery before.

Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask Finish utilises our Triple Distilled whisky, producing a wonderfully smooth and elegant single malt packed with plenty of tropical and fresh citrus fruits. The apple and pear notes commonly found in our Signature Range Triple Distilled single malt are accentuated and highlighted with the benefit of the two years in a Cognac cask.

We consider Tokaji wine casks one of the most interesting and intriguing maturation selections due to the intensely tropical and ripe fruit notes that are gained from ageing in this type of wood. Finishing our peated expression in Tokaji casks for the first time has produced a complimentary mix of peated BBQ smoke, dark fruits and spice from the initial maturation in new American white oak and the intense rich honey and fruit characteristics from the Tokaji cask finish.

Combining our Glasgow 1770 unpeated whisky with Innis & Gunn Golden Beer has proved to be a fruitful collaboration, creating an expression with distinct hoppiness and rich dark fruits. For this second bottling, we left this batch in an ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry Golden Beer cask for a full year, resulting in notes of rich sultana, cherry and orange set against a backdrop of dark fruits and vanilla.

Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled Cognac Cask Finish was first matured in ex-Bourbon casks for just under 3 years before spending 2 years in French Cognac puncheon casks, with an output of 1576 bottles and an ABV of 52%.

Bottled at 53.4% and with just 615 bottles available, the Glasgow 1770 Peated Tokaji finish was first matured in virgin American white oak for three years before being finished in Hungarian Tokaji hogshead casks for two years.

Glasgow 1770 Golden Beer Cask Finish Batch 02 is exclusively available in the distillery’s new Collaboration Pack – paired with a bottle of Innis & Gunn’s PX Finish Golden Beer. This is the beer that was in the finishing cask before the distillery used it for their single malt whisky, so consumers can taste both the beer and the whisky that have come from the same wood, part of the distillery’s emphasis on transparency and storytelling. Bottled at a slightly higher strength than Batch 01, this release sits at 58% ABV.
