The Glasgow Distillery announced the release of three limited-edition single malt whiskies finished in rare wine casks as part of the brand’s award-winning Small Batch Series.

The collection features one peated and two unpeated expressions, each aged for five years and finished for one year and ten months in distinctive wine casks. 

The first release, Glasgow 1770 Constantia Wine Cask Matured, showcases the influence of South African dessert wine casks on unpeated spirit. Bottled at 56.6% ABV, the whisky delivers multiple fruit notes. Only 980 bottles will enter the market.

Glasgow 1770 Syrah Wine Cask Matured takes its character from Greek Syrah red wine casks sourced from Evia island. The 59.3% ABV expression evokesberry notes and more. This release is restricted to 652 bottles.

The collection’s sole peated offering, Glasgow 1770 Pineau des Charentes Wine Cask Matured, begins with mainland peat-smoked malted barley. Following initial maturation in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky spent its finishing period in French Pineau des Charentes wine casks. The 58.7% ABV whisky is limited to just 303 bottles.

“At The Glasgow Distillery, we are always looking for ways to push boundaries and explore new dimensions of flavour,” Mike Hayward, founder of The Glasgow Distillery, said in a news release. “These three releases showcase the remarkable impact that different wine casks can have on our whisky, bringing bold and gratifying flavour characteristics.”

The experimental releases coincide with the distillery’s recent 10-year anniversary of whisky production. 

Hayward notes the timing: “Having recently celebrated 10-years of whisky production, it seems fitting to release perhaps our most experimental whiskies yet whilst reflecting on a decade of innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication to creating exceptional single malts.”

The three whiskies are launching May 13 in the UK and Germany, with an SRP of £59 in the UK market.
