The Glasgow 1770 8yo Bourbon Cask Matured single malt is a confident, energetic expression from one of Scotland’s most exciting urban distilleries. This age-stated release showcases what Glasgow Distillery does best, clean spirit, bold flavour, and a cask influence that adds richness without muting the malt’s lively personality.
Aged entirely in first-fill bourbon barrels, this 8-year-old whisky bursts from the glass with classic bourbon-cask charm: layers of vanilla cream, honeycomb, fresh oak, and bright citrus zest. There’s a youthful vibrancy about it, yet the extra years in cask have added welcome depth and restraint.
On the palate, it’s indulgent and expressive. Think vanilla fudge, toasted coconut, lemon peel, sweet grain, and a flicker of warming baking spice. A silky mouthfeel wraps everything together before the flavour shifts into a clean, lightly spiced finish with hints of oak shavings and caramelised sugar. It’s polished, modern, and unmistakably 1770.
This 8-year-old Bourbon Cask Matured release is an excellent pick for fans of sweeter, cask-driven single malts, or anyone exploring the rising stars of Scotland’s new-wave whisky scene. Whether you’re a Glasgow 1770 collector or diving in for the first time, this bottling delivers clarity, charm, and an unapologetically contemporary style.
