Glasgow
Distillery is set to welcome visitors
this month when it opens its door to the
public for the very first time with the
launch of The Glasgow Distillery
Experience.
Glasgow Distillery, Glasgow’s first
independent single malt whisky
distillery in over a century is
officially opening its doors to the
public, launching an exclusive tour and
tasting experience. Whisky enthusiasts
can now explore the distillery alongside
expert guides and sample its acclaimed
range of spirits on site.
Priced at £45 and available on select
weekdays from July 23rd, The Glasgow
Distillery Experience offers an
in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the
production of the distillery’s
award-winning spirits, including Glasgow
1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Banditti
Club Rum, Makar Gin, and G52 Botanical
Vodka.
The two-hour journey begins in the
tasting room, before moving into the
distillery lab, where guests will
discover how new products are crafted
and learn about the selection process
for cask finishes in the experimental
Small Batch Series. As one of the few
Scottish distilleries with an on-site
cooper, visitors will also witness a
live coopering demonstration and enjoy a
rare chance to taste cask strength
single malt whisky straight from the
barrel.
The experience concludes back in the
tasting room with a guided tasting of
Glasgow 1770’s past and present single
malt releases, along with exclusive
access to a new, tour-only bottling.
Guests will also sample a curated range
of the distillery’s gins, vodkas, and
rums.
Mike Hayward, founder of The Glasgow
Distillery, said: "The Glasgow
Distillery Experience is not your
average distillery tour. We will be
welcoming visitors into the heart of our
working distillery.
"From a behind-the-scenes look at our
innovation lab to showcasing the
expertise of our on-site cooper, this
experience offers a rare glimpse into
every stage of our spirit-making
process. It’s a chance for guests to
meet our team, understand the passion
behind what we do, and enjoy our spirits
in the place they’re made.
"Visitors will also have access to our
new tours-only bottlings - a revolving
door of super exclusive cask samples.
The first of these is a 7-year-old,
peated single malt, initially matured in
virgin American white oak before an
extended secondary maturation within a
fresh Oloroso Sherry hogshead."
Situated in Hillington, just a short
taxi ride from Glasgow city centre, The
Glasgow Distillery takes its name from
the original Glasgow Distillery Company,
which ceased operations in 1902. When it
opened in 2012, it became the city’s
first new independent whisky distillery
in over 100 years.
The launch of The Glasgow Distillery
Experience marks another major milestone
in what has been a landmark year for the
distillery. Earlier this year, it
celebrated a decade of whisky production
with the release of its first
10-Year-Old single malt—a special
commemorative bottling that sold out in
under 20 minutes.
