Product details
In 2015 whisky distilling returned to the city of Glasgow for the first time in a century, and the Glasgow Distillery Co. acknowledged the past by naming their single malt after the year one of Glasgow’s original distilleries (Dundashill) was founded. Yep, in 1770. Winning many admirers already, they produce both peated and unpeated spirit (and some triple-distilled too), but this whisky is produced in their flagship double distilled and unpeated style.
Fresh and fruity, and initially aged in first-fill bourbon casks, their core ‘The Original’ would then usually be finished in fresh American oak casks. Instead here, this (older, second batch) limited edition from August 2026 enjoys a secondary maturation of 3 years and 11 months in four Ruby Port hogsheads, producing 1,200 bottles. It is, of course, non-chill filtered and natural colour.
