About this event
Welcome to The Glasgow Distillery Experience!
The moment you've all been waiting for, our distillery is now open for tours.
This isn't your classic distillery tour. This is the chance to spend the afternoon within our hands-on working distillery site, to meet the team behind the production of our award-winning portfolio of whisky, gin, vodka, and rum, and to sample whisky straight from the cask in our on-site cask warehouse.
What to Expect
We start in our distillery tasting room with an overview of how we started Glasgow’s first new independent single malt whisky distillery in over 100 years. An introduction to our award-winning portfolio, the stories behind our products, a deep dive into our mission and ethos, all accompanied by our Glasgow 1770 Signature Range.
We will then take a walk through production: from our on-site lab where our new products are developed, to our distillery production, to discuss whisky distillation from start to finish.
Meet our on-site cooper and witness one of the world’s oldest trades in action as he explains and demonstrates why cask maintenance is so important in the whisky production process.
You will get the opportunity to sample whisky directly from a cask in our on-site warehouse.
We will introduce a sample of a brand new Distillery Exclusive single malt, available only to those on our Experience tours, alongside two limited edition releases from our Small Batch Series range of single malts.
In summary:
- Two-hour immersive experience, limited to 8 people at a time, in a working distillery
- An introduction to our distillery in our Tasting Room
- A walk through production from start to finish in the Distillery
- Coopering demonstration
- Sampling whisky from the cask in our warehouse
- Sampling 7 whiskies in total, with an option to try further products from our wider portfolio of gin, vodka, and rum
