Priced at £45 and running on select weekdays from July 23rd, The Glasgow Distillery Experience will showcase a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the distillery's award-winning range of spirits, including Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Banditti Club Rum, Makar Gin and G52 Botanical Vodka.

The two-hour experience will begin in the tasting room, followed by a look into the distillery lab where we'll take you through how new products are developed and cask finishes are selected for our Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series.

As one of the few remaining distilleries in Scotland with a dedicated on-site cooper, the experience will also include a live coopering demonstration, followed by the opportunity to sample our single malt straight from the cask.

The experience concludes in the distillery's tasting room with a guided tasting of our past and present Glasgow 1770 releases, including access to a brand-new distillery exclusive bottling, alongside a curated selection of gins, vodkas and rums from the wider range.

"The Glasgow Distillery Experience is not your average distillery tour. We will be welcoming visitors into the heart of our working distillery.

From a behind-the-scenes look at our innovation lab to showcasing the expertise of our on-site cooper, this experience offers a rare glimpse into every stage of our spirit-making process. It's a chance for guests to meet our team, understand the passion behind what we do, and enjoy our spirits in the place they're made.

Visitors will also have access to our new tours-only bottlings - a revolving door of super exclusive cask samples. The first of these is a 7-year-old peated single malt, initially matured in virgin American white oak before an extended secondary maturation within a fresh Oloroso sherry hogshead." - Mike Hayward, Founder

Located in Hillington, a short drive from the city centre and named after the original Glasgow Distillery Company, which closed in 1902, we're the first independent whisky distillery in the city for over a century, when we opened in 2012.

The launch of The Glasgow Distillery Experience is the latest highlight in a milestone year for us, which marked a decade of whisky production earlier this year with the release of our first 10-year-old whisky, a commemorative bottling that sold out in under 20 minutes.
