The Glasgow Distillery Co. isn't content with just making one style of whisky - oh heavens no! Behold, 1770 Peated! As you can probably figure out from the name, this is a peated expression, made specifically with heather-rich peat from the highlands. After distillation, the whisky was matured in new American white oak casks and allowed a finishing period of around a year in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks (whereas the unpeated 1770 Whisky is aged in bourbon casks before being finished in virgin oak).
Zesty orange and a hint of quince, juxtaposed by wafts of floral smoke.
Toasty oak and burnt sugar, with dried fruit richness building.
Slightly nutty on the finish, though earthy peat continues on and on.

Really impressed with the complex of such a young whisky. Will keep this distillery on my lens for future degustations. Five stars
Absolutely outstanding dram for its young age. Perfectly smoky, but sweetly smoky. Fantastic dram from Glasgow Distillery, and winning all the awards!
Just ordered it on Thursday and got it Friday
A ppm of around 50 (on the barley) is perhaps not heavily peated but still very nicely pronounced and convincing here.
Misses the mark. Tastes like it's been filtered through a gravel pit and plowmans socks. Try literally anything else and you'll be happier
