The Clydeside
Distillery in Glasgow has welcomed its
5000th visitor and it is
expected to get busier with City
Sightseeing Glasgow installing a brand
new stop for its open top bus tour
outside the distillery.
The Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow
which first opened its doors to visitors
at the end of November last year has
welcomed its 5000th visitor following a
busy Easter period.
Over the two-week Easter holidays
running until 13 April, The Clydeside
Distillery welcomed over 1,200 visitors
to its visitor centre on the banks of
the River Clyde. The busy Easter period
helped boost overall visitor numbers to
over 5,000 since the attraction opened.
Whisky fans from all backgrounds, tastes
and knowledge levels have taken full
advantage of the state-of-the-art
interactive whisky experience which
brings Glasgow’s rich whisky heritage to
life.
Getting to the distillery has now got
even easier for visitors to Glasgow with
City Sightseeing Glasgow installing a
brand new stop for its open top bus tour
outside the distillery just a few weeks
ago, which is sure to make for a very
busy summer season at the visitor
attraction.
The distillery team is now busy
preparing for the start of its first
summer season, something which Bridgeen
Mullen, Visitor Centre Manager, is
looking forward to, she commented:
"The Easter break was our first proper
holiday period since Christmas and I
have to commend the entire team on a
sterling job. Footfall surpassed our
expectations which we see as a fantastic
sign of things to come.
"The Clydeside Distillery is unique and
offers locals and tourists alike a
fantastic experience of Glasgow’s rich
whisky heritage. Over the coming weeks
we will begin to add more tour slots
into our weekend schedules whilst
continuing to offer our guests an
experience they will never forget.
"Summer is just around the corner and
with industry trends predicting even
more visitors to whisky distilleries in
2018, we are excited to work with our
partners to reinforce Glasgow’s place on
the whisky map."
The Clydeside Distillery tours run every
hour Monday to Friday and Sunday, and
every half hour on Saturday.
