Glasgow 1770 Releases Their Latest Small Batch Series
Glasgow - 2024 Autumn Small Batch - Madeira Finish
Glasgow 1770 has released a new Small Batch Series of single malt whiskies.
The Small Batch Series is their ongoing set of bottlings that celebrate the versatility of whisky made at The Glasgow Distillery. It highlights the impact of different cask maturations across their different whisky styles.
As they enter into the colder season in the UK Glasgow Distillery has chosen three smoky whiskies to share with three cask types that they have not released before as part of this series:
Glasgow 1770 Madeira Cask Finish
6 Years Old, 58% ABVThe contents of a single finishing cask, this six year old release is a peated single malt that has initially been filled into a virgin American white oak cask before a finishing period of one year and eleven months in a Madeira wine cask. This combination offers a rich smoke with notes of apricot jam, orange peel, tobacco and ginger cake.
This release gains a pleasant campfire smoke from the 50ppm malted barley used, a rich dark fruit-forward characteristic from the initial virgin oak maturation, and a jam-packed tropical fruit profile from the Madeira wine influence.
58% ABV ・ 298 Bottles
Glasgow 1770 Islay Cask Finish
6 Years Old, 57.3% ABVThe contents of a single finishing cask, this six-year-old release showcases our own peated single malt, distilled from malted barley imbibed with mainland peat smoke (50ppm), then finished in a refill bourbon hogshead that previously held peated single malt from an Islay distillery.
Mainland peat offers sweet smoke and campfire notes, and Islay’s cask influence offers citrus and salinity. The result of combining the two in this unique bottling is an intriguing and thought-provoking smoky release packed with notes of honey, tropical fruit, sea salt, and sweet smoke
57.3% ABV ・ 303 Bottles
Glasgow 1770 Marsala Wine Cask
7 Years Old, 60.2% ABVHere we have a cask strength, seven year old, limited edition peated single malt joining our Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series. This release of 860 bottles has enjoyed a full-term maturation within Marsala Wine casks to offer notes of rich toffee apple, smoky bacon, salted caramel, and stone fruit.
Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Marsala Wine Cask, combines three sister casks together: numbers 17/549, 17/550, and 17/563. These three casks were filled in early August 2017 with our rich and smoky peated style before they were married together and bottled at cask strength on the 23rd of September 2024.
