About Glasgow 1770
Glasgow 1770 opens with a refined interplay of fresh orchard fruits and gentle vanilla sweetness, underpinned by a whisper of toasted oak from its carefully selected casks. On the palate, creamy toffee and ripe pear give way to warming spice and a subtle coastal salinity that speaks to the distillery's urban Glasgow heritage. The finish is elegantly balanced, leaving a lingering warmth of dried fruit and soft wood smoke that invites another sip.
