Glasgow Distillery releases its oldest whisky to date
Independently owned The Glasgow Distillery has unveiled a 10-year-old single malt in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
Established in 2012, The Glasgow Distillery on Deanside Road laid its first cask in 2015.
To commemorate this milestone and the distillery’s decade-long whisky-making journey, The Glasgow Distillery bottled its 10th cask on 24 March 2025.
The bottling, drawn from a single refill Bourbon barrel, is the distillery’s oldest whisky expression to date.
Glasgow 1770 10-year-old is an unpeated single malt limited to 230 bottles, offered at 54% ABV.
The release will be available exclusively to members of the Glasgow Distillery Community, the company’s free members club.
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.
“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 for 10 years, this whisky is a true demonstration of the wonderfully fruity and vibrant character of the whisky we make at The Glasgow Distillery.”
The limited release displays notes of pear tart Tatin, heather honey, green apples, lemon zest, melon, pineapple, and cinnamon.
Hayward added: “With this milestone bottling, we raise a glass in toast to our community, thank them for their backing over the last 10 years, and look forward to another 10 and beyond.”
Glasgow 1770 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky will be available on the distillery’s website at 10am on Tuesday 15 April.
Priced at £69 (US$90), the release is limited to one bottle per person.
Last year, the distillery unveiled its second batch of annual cask-strength single malts and debuted a trio of peated cask-finished whiskies.
