The Glasgow Distillery has announced the release of a 10-year-old whisky, which becomes the oldest expression from the distillery to date.

Earlier this year, Glasgow Distillery's first cask turned 10 years old, a milestone which founder Mike Hayward described as “an incredibly memorable and proud moment for me and everyone at the distillery.”

The whisky for the new 10-year-old bottling is drawn from a single cask; the 10th cask ever filled at the distillery. It has been released as an exclusive expression for members of the distillery's Community members.

Mike Hayward, co-founder of The Glasgow Distillery commented: “We’re incredibly proud to present this milestone bottling as we mark a decade of whisky making. With notes of pear tart tatin, heather honey, green apples, lemon zest, melon, pineapple, and a dusting of cinnamon, this fruit-forward dram is perfect for spring.” 

Hayward added that the whisky was an opportunity for Glasgow Distillery fans to “look at our decade-old whisky without too much influence from finishing casks or secondary maturation”. The release has spent its full decade of maturation in a single refill bourbon cask, to demonstrate the “fruity and vibrant character” of the distillery's whisky.

He concluded: “With this milestone bottling we raise a glass in toast to our Community, thank them for their backing over the last 10 years and look forward to another 10 and beyond!”

Glasgow 1770 10 Years Old (54% ABV, RRP £69) is available now via the Glasgow Distillery website, with access reserved for members of the Glasgow Distillery Community.
