Glasgow 1770 Limited Editions & Batches

I'm a bit of a fanboy of @GlasgowDC and their @1770Whisky releases and as they start to ramp up Limited Edition Releases I though it would be a good idea to keep track of them as they disappear off the website when sold out!


Here's a start...
Glasgow distil three kinds of spirit: Unpeated, Peated and Triple Distilled.


Unpeated Peated Triple Distilled
Double Distilled using unpeated barley.
Majority of spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks.
Double Distilled using peated barley.
Majority of spirit matured in virgin American Oak casks.
Triple Distilled using unpeated barley.
Majority of spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks.
White cask end Black cask end White cask end with 3 pot stills


These spirits, once matured, are bottled as Original, Peated and Triple Distilled.




Original Peated Triple Distilled
Matured in first fill ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in virgin American oak barrels, bottled at 46% ABV NCF Concerto barley is smoked to 50ppm using aromatic heather-rich peat sourced from the Scottish Highlands. Matured in American virgin oak casks and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, bottled at 46% ABV NCF Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon casks and virgin American oak casks which are married together before bottling at 46% ABV NCF


There have also been Cask Strength versions of Original and Peated
