Glasgow 1770 The Original + Ruby Port Cask Finish - 70cl - 2 bottles

Glasgow 1770 - The Original
Here we have 1770 Original Glasgow single malt, distilled at none other than the Glasgow distillery, which brought whisky production back to the city for the first time in over 100 years! It's handcrafted in copper pot stills (named Tara and Mhairi), combining Scottish barley with the pure water of Loch Katrine. The limited edition whisky was then matured in first fill bourbon casks, and treated to a finish in virgin white oak.

Nose
Dried dark fruits with tropical undertones on the nose, followed by hints of biscuit, oak and freshly cut grass.

Palate
Sweet butterscotch with a crème brulee char on the pallet. Hints of freshly sliced pear, dried figs, dates and raisin with sweet almond, honey and creamy shortbread notes.

Finish
A long finish of thickly spread orange marmalade, nutmeg notes underpinned by complex woodiness and a slight spice.

This is a 6 year old bottling that marries together four casks. Initial maturation within first fill ex-bourbon barrels for 3 years and 10 months, and an extended 2 year and 10 month secondary maturation within Ruby Port casks.
The casks we have used for this bottling are American oak hogsheads that have been seasoned with Ruby Port. The extended secondary maturation of 2 years and 10 months for this first release has imbued our fruity whisky with lovely notes of summer berries and rich fruit.

Bottling:
Glasgow 1770 Ruby Port Cask Finish is presented at a batch strength of 55% ABV. This product is non-chill filtered, which means we’re keeping as much flavour and mouth-tactility within the bottle as possible. This bottle is also presented at natural colour, the pink hued colour all comes from the wood that we use to mature the whisky, first in first fill ex-bourbon and then in Ruby Port casks.

The resulting single malt is rich and fruity, packed full of notes of summer berries, vibrant vanilla, and a light pink peppercorn spice.
