Rich, fruit-forward, and elegantly expressive, Glasgow 1770 Amarone Cask Finish is a limited edition single malt that highlights the depth and versatility of The Glasgow Distillery’s unpeated house style. Drawn from just three carefully selected casks and bottled at natural cask strength, this six-year-old release offers a beautifully balanced interplay between spirit and cask.
Initially matured for five years in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky develops a smooth, creamy foundation before being transferred into Italian Amarone wine barriques. This secondary maturation introduces a rich layer of red fruit sweetness, gentle spice, and velvety texture, creating a whisky that is both indulgent and refined. With an outturn of just 1,060 bottles, it stands as a distinctive and highly collectible expression.
At its core is Glasgow’s signature double-distilled, unpeated spirit — clean, bright, and fruit-driven — providing the perfect canvas for cask finishing. The influence of Amarone della Valpolicella, a wine renowned for its depth and concentration, brings notes of ripe berries, soft confectionery sweetness, and subtle oak spice, enhancing the whisky’s natural elegance without overpowering it.
The result is a harmonious and layered dram, where vibrant fruit, creamy sweetness, and gentle spice come together in a refined and approachable style, offering both immediate appeal and rewarding complexity.
A richly fruited and velvety cask-strength release, where Amarone wine influence brings depth, sweetness, and refined complexity to a vibrant Glasgow single malt.
