Glasgow 1770 10 Year Old Single Cask

The Glasgow Distillery, who revived single malt whisky production in Glasgow, is marking a decade of whisky making with its oldest release yet: Glasgow 1770 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

This limited-edition single cask bottling—drawn from the 10th cask ever filled by the distillery—will be available exclusively to members of the Glasgow Distillery Community, the distillery’s free membership club.

Founded in 2012 as an independent, privately owned distillery, The Glasgow Distillery set out to bring premium spirits distillation back to Scotland’s largest city. Now, it's releasing Cask No. 15/10, filled on March 20, 2015, with the distillery’s signature fruity, unpeated, double-distilled spirit and matured in a refill bourbon barrel.

After 10 years of aging, the whisky was bottled on March 24, 2025, yielding just 230 bottles at a robust 54% ABV.

Mike Hayward, co-founder of The Glasgow Distillery commented: "We're incredibly proud to present this milestone bottling as we mark a decade of whisky making. With notes of pear tart tatin, heather honey, green apples, lemon zest, melon, pineapple, and a dusting of cinnamon, this fruit-forward dram is perfect for spring. Releasing our oldest expression exclusively to The Glasgow Distillery Community recognises all the support and encouragement we have received from our supporters who have followed us throughout our journey to date.

"For our first 10 Year Old release we wanted to offer our followers a look at our decade-old whisky without too much influence from finishing casks or secondary maturation. Having been filled in a refill bourbon cask fully for ten years, this whisky is a true demonstration of the wonderfully fruity and vibrant character of the whisky we make at The Glasgow Distillery.

"With this milestone bottling we raise a glass in toast to our Community, thank them for their backing over the last ten years and look forward to another ten and beyond!"

The Glasgow 1770 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, April 15th exclusively via The Glasgow Distillery website, priced at £69.00 per bottle. This limited release is restricted to one bottle per person.

To access the release, you must be a member of the Glasgow Distillery Community—the distillery’s free online members club. Make sure you're signed into your account ahead of time. Members will also receive an email with full details.

Glasgow 1770 10 Year Old Single Cask Review


Bottled at 54% ABV.

Producer's Tasting Notes:

Nose: The nose is bright and vibrant with notes of crisp green apples and fresh pears accompanied by delicate fresh lychee, ripe pineapple and citrus marmalade leading to a subtle dusting of icing sugar atop a rich vanilla sponge cake.

Taste: The palate is soft and balanced with notes of vanilla custard, orange peel and lemon zest, baked apple, and a rich floral heather honeyed sweetness. Freshly sliced pear leads to indulgent notes of baked caramelised pear tarte tatin.

Finish: Velvety creme brulee and white chocolate on the finish with a sprinkle of desiccated coconut and lingering notes of honeyed fruit and a touch of warming cinnamon.
