1770 Glasgow 2018 Peated #18/1194 - 59,7%

As early as 1770, there was a distillery—called Dundashill—at the site where the Glasgow Distillery stands today; it was one of the first licensed whiskey distilleries at the time. In 2014, Liam Hughes, Mike Hayward, and Ian McDougall decided to revive this piece of history and, as a result, founded the Glasgow Distillery. Today, it is one of the few urban distilleries in Scotland dedicated to whiskey production. With their four pot stills, they currently produce around 440,000 liters of alcohol per year.

One of the older Glasgow whiskies, a nine-year-old Palo Cortado single cask, steps up in honour of Kirsch's 50th anniversary: The Glasgow 1770 – 2017/2026 pays tribute to Kirsch Import with a rich, fruit-forward profile of crisp apples, orange zest and sweet hedge cherries, along with walnut and espresso. To achieve this, the single malt, old by the distillery's standards, was given a second maturation of more than six years in a sherry cask previously seasoned with Palo Cortado.

Tasting Notes: “Dark fruit, cherry, orange peel, raspberry, toffee, tobacco leaf.”
