Sebastian Bunford-Jones, global marketing manager at the Glasgow Distillery said: “We’re returning to the heart of Glasgow, offering customers all the usual distillery favourites alongside special new releases including a limited Princes Square edition of our signature Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled whisky that has been finished in a Bordeaux red wine cask - an elegant, smooth and fruity single malt worthy of the iconic Glaswegian location it celebrates.”
The Glasgow Distillery was first established in 2012 by a duo who made it their mission to ‘bring premium spirits distillation back to the city they call home’.
The team was later awarded ‘Craft Producers of the Year’ at the Whisky Magazine Icons of Whisky Awards in 2017 and 2019 as well as being named ‘Scottish Whisky Distillery of The Year’ at The Scottish Whisky Awards in 2020.
Glasgow 1770 The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky, the inaugural expression in the Glasgow 1770 range, has won a series of awards in 2023 including Gold at the International Spirits Challenge, the highest merit of Master at the Spirits Business Scotch Whisky Masters.
