Just in time
for Autumn, Glasgow Distillery has
unveiled 3 new Small Batch Peated
whiskies, each finished in a different
cask.
Glasgow Distillery today unveiled three
new limited-edition peated whiskies in
its renowned Small Batch Series: Glasgow
1770 Islay Cask Finish, Glasgow 1770
Madeira Cask Finish, and Glasgow 1770
Marsala Wine Cask Matured.
Each release is crafted around the
distillery’s award-winning signature
peated spirit, demonstrating its
dedication to innovation and
craftsmanship. These expressions are
said to highlight the rich, diverse
flavours that can be achieved through
cask maturation.
Mike Hayward, co-founder of The Glasgow
Distillery, commented: "This trio of new
peated additions to our Small Batch
Series offer the perfect selection of
warming drams for the colder months.
"Initially matured in a virgin American
oak cask before a secondary maturation
in a refill bourbon hogshead that
previously held peated single malt from
the island of Islay, Glasgow 1770 Islay
Cask Finish offers a unique interplay
between mainland peat’s sweet smoke and
Islay’s maritime influence, resulting in
an intriguing smoky release with notes
of golden syrup and flamed orange peel.
"Glasgow 1770 Madeira Cask Finish
completed its initial ageing in a virgin
American oak cask, before a finishing
period in a cask that previously held
Madeira wine, resulting in a delightful
character of sweetness and complexity
with notes of crystallised ginger and
dark plum.
"A true cask strength marvel, the
Glasgow 1770 Marsala Wine Cask is a
seven-year-old peated single malt fully
matured in Marsala wine casks. This
limited edition is bold and
uncompromising with notes of sticky
toffee, dark fruit, and smoky bacon."
Bottled at 57.3% ABV and limited to just
303 bottles, the Glasgow 1770 Islay Cask
Finish is said to embody the unique
character of two iconic Scottish
regions, making it an ideal choice for
adventurous peated whisky lovers.
With only 298 bottles and bottled at 58%
ABV, the Glasgow 1770 Madeira Cask
Finish is said to offer whisky
enthusiasts a chance to experience the
rich influence of Madeira alongside the
distillery’s signature peated profile.
The Glasgow 1770 Marsala Cask Finish,
with 860 bottles available and bottled
at 60.2% ABV, is said to introduce bold
and intriguing flavours, showcasing the
distillery’s dedication to pushing the
boundaries of taste through innovative
cask maturation.
All 3 whiskies have a RRP of £59 and
will be available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
Master of Malt
