Liam Hughes and Mike Hayward set themselves the goal of bringing the tradition of single malt whisky distillation back to Glasgow and founded "The Glasgow Distillery Company Ltd". This name pays tribute to one of Scotland's first licensed distilleries, which was established back in 1770. Operating under different names over the years, the original Glasgow Distillery Company produced a variety of whiskies, including unpeated, peated and triple-distilled single malts, until its closure in 1902.
The establishment of the new distillery marks the beginning of the realization of its mission to firmly re-establish the production of high quality spirits in Glasgow.
1770 Glasgow Triple Distilled Single Malt impresses with its smoothness and vitality, which make it unique. Selected finest concert barley and purest water from Loch Katrine form the basis. After fermentation for over 72 hours, a triple distillation in copper stills follows, which removes heavier oils and produces a particularly light spirit. Maturation in ex-bourbon and American oak barrels gives it a fruity and bright note.
Bottled at 46%, unfiltered and in its natural color, this whisky is particularly harmonious.
