Glasgow 1770 Cask Strength The Original

Our Cask Strength Releases
Every 12 – 18 months, we present two of our flagship single malts at a natural cask strength: The Original and Peated. These bottlings are the true taste of the whisky we make here at The Glasgow Distillery; bold, unadulterated, and 100% natural.

Production Summary
Using our double distilled unpeated malted barley, this whisky is matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks before a finishing period in heavily charred Virgin American White Oak from Kelvin Cooperage. This carefully considered maturation brings together bright fruit character, rich sweetness and layers of warming oak spice. 

For Batch 03, our distillery team hand-selected three exemplary casks of The Original and married them together for a limited outturn of just 750 bottles.

At cask strength, the fruity heart that defines Glasgow 1770 The Original is beautifully amplified, revealing prominent notes of zesty Seville orange marmalade, dried apricot, toffee apple, poached pear and toasted pineapple. A true taste of Glasgow Distillery single malt in its most natural form.
