Celebrating the landmark year of 2025!

We're closing out one of the most significant years in our history, with 21 new single malt releases, the introduction of a sell-out new tour experience and major strides in sustainability.

The Glasgow Distillery marked a decade of whisky production in March, which led to the launch of our first 10 Year Old single malt scotch whisky earlier this year - an anniversary bottling that sold out in under 20 minutes. This set the tone for a year characterised by heightened demand and international expansion. Across 2025, we introduced a record 21 releases across global markets, including Germany, Belgium and Finland, with the help of Niall, our Export Business Development Manager, who joined us in July this year.

As our profile grew overseas, the team met more than 60,000 whisky fans at events in seven different countries. Closer to home, we have deepened our ties within our city's hospitality scene through new collaborations with venues such as Rascal and wine-and-negroni bar Malo, reflecting a focus on engaging Glasgow's growing community of spirits-led bars.

Another major step for us was the launch of The Glasgow Distillery Experience, opening up our working distillery to visitors for the first time. All 14 tour dates offered in 2025 sold out quickly, with guests gaining rare behind the scenes access to the lab, the distillery floor and our on-site cooperage.

We expanded our Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky core range with the launch of two new whiskies: Glasgow 1770 Ruby Port Cask Finish and Glasgow 1770 Bourbon Cask Matured. We also celebrated a series of accolades, including Excellence in Branding at The Scottish Whisky Awards, Best Lowland Single Malt for our Glasgow 1770 Peated and Best Small Batch Single Malt for Glasgow 1770 Ruby Port Cask Finish at the World Whiskies Awards Scotland 2026. In addition, our very own onsite cooper, Shug, was named Cooper of the Year, and the distillery itself received recognition as Highly Commended in the Distillery of the Year Category.

Environmental progress formed a central strand of activity in 2025, reporting a 40% reduction in water usage and a 20% cut in gas consumption across the site, delivered through targeted efficiency measures and long-term sustainability initiatives.

"Marking ten years of whisky making has been a significant moment for us, but the momentum we've seen throughout 2025 has been just as important, especially against the backdrop of a challenging whisky market. From record international releases to opening our doors to the public for the first time, and building stronger relationships across Glasgow's hospitality scene, this year reflects how far the distillery has come since 2012. The response from whisky drinkers at home and abroad has been exceptional, and these achievements put us in a strong position as we enter our next decade." - Mike Hayward, Founder
