Glasgow 1770
expands its core range with a 1,400 bottle
first batch limited release of
a 8 Year Old lightly peated, Bourbon Cask
Matured single malt.
 The Glasgow Distillery has announced the
latest addition to its acclaimed Glasgow
1770 collection – Glasgow 1770 Bourbon
Cask Matured 8 Year Old single malt
whisky. This new first batch limited release of
1,400 bottles marks the second
expression in the distillery’s growing
range of age-statement single malts,
bottled at cask strength.
Building on the success of the Glasgow
1770 Ruby Port Cask Finish released
earlier this year, the Bourbon Cask
Matured expression is said to strike an
ideal balance between two of the
distillery’s hallmark whisky styles,
crafted from a marriage of 50% unpeated
double distilled and 50% peated double
distilled spirit. The result they say is
a whisky that perfectly encapsulates The
Glasgow Distillery’s dedication to
innovation and quality.
Matured exclusively in first-fill
ex-bourbon barrels for a minimum of
eight years, this expression is said to
highlight the vibrant, tropical fruit
character that forms the foundation of
Glasgow Distillery’s double distilled
spirit, complemented by a gentle
sweetness and subtle smoke from the
peated component.
This first batch is composed of six
casks—three unpeated and three
peated—and bottled at a robust 54% ABV.
The 8 Year Old whisky is limited to just
1,400 bottles, available in the UK and
select international markets, with an
RRP of £57.
Mike Hayward, Founder of The Glasgow
Distillery, commented: "Glasgow 1770
Ruby Port Cask Finish and Glasgow 1770
Bourbon Cask Matured embody our
experimental spirit and expertise in
cask management, bridging our well-loved
Signature Range of peated, unpeated and
triple distilled expressions and
experimental Small Batch Series. These
new annual bottling's showcase our
favourite combination of whisky
production styles and cask maturations.
"By focusing solely on bourbon cask
maturation, this new release offers a
pure expression of spirit-led character,
celebrating the essence of The Glasgow
Distillery’s craftsmanship without an
overly heavy cask influence. Expect rich
vanilla and floral honey, a gentle lick
of sweet smoke, vibrant citrus fruit,
buttery shortbread, and tropical
undertones, leading to a long, warming
finish."
The launch continues a milestone year
for The Glasgow Distillery, which marked
ten years of whisky production in March
and introduced its first 10 Year Old
Single Malt in April — a commemorative
release that sold out in under 20
minutes. The distillery also opened its
doors to visitors for the first time in
July, with tours quickly selling out and
further dates planned.
Adding to its achievements, The Glasgow
Distillery has been shortlisted for
Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year
at the upcoming Scottish Whisky Awards.
The Glasgow 1770 Bourbon Cask Matured
will be released to the public and
available in UK retail from Tuesday, 4th
November. It will also feature at
Glasgow’s Whisky Festival at Hampden
Park on 8th November, where The Glasgow
Distillery is proud to be the headline
sponsor.
