In 2018, we launched the award-winning Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This unpeated release was followed by a peated and a triple distilled expression – the three now form our Glasgow 1770 Signature Range and reflect the three styles of distillation that we craft each year. We also release a wide range of experimental and innovative small batch and single cask releases.
The distillery is also home to a full portfolio of premium brands, including; Makar Gin – Glasgow’s first-ever gin; Banditti Club Spiced Rum; G52 Botanical Vodka; and Malt Riot Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. All of our products are exported and enjoyed worldwide.
