Glasgow 1770 Unveils Trio Of Peated Single Malt Whiskies For Autumn 2024

The Glasgow Distillery today, 15th October, launches three new limited peated whiskies as part of its acclaimed Small Batch Series: Glasgow 1770 Islay Cask Finish, Glasgow 1770 Madeira Cask Finish, and Glasgow 1770 Marsala Wine Cask Matured.

Featuring the distillery's award-winning signature peated spirit at its core, each expression highlights the distillery's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship, showcasing the rich and diverse flavours 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, Glasgow 1770 Islay Cask Finish captures the essence of two distinct Scottish regions and is perfect for adventurous peated whisky enthusiasts.

With only 298 bottles available and bottled at 58% ABV, Glasgow 1770 Madeira Cask Finish invites drinkers to savour the richness of Madeira's influence alongside the distillery's signature peated style.

With 860 bottles available, Glasgow 1770 Marsala Cask Finish debuts bold and intriguing flavours at 60.2% ABV, representing the distillery's commitment to exploring the depths of flavour possible through innovative cask choices.

All releases are available on The Glasgow Distillery website and in specialist retailers across the UK, with an RRP of £59.
