Glasgow 1770 – Red Wine & Ruby Port Cask Finish
Joining the Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series, this limited edition single malt from the Glasgow distillery marries together two different spirit styles, that have undergone two different maturation processes. Laid down in 2018, a batch of Glasgow 1770 - Peated single malt was initially matured in American white oak before finishing in red wine casks from Bordeaux, while its triple distilled single malt spent time in bourbon casks, and finished in ruby Port casks. Six casks were married toward the end of 2022, bottled without chill filtration or added colour at a bold 57.5% ABV. A release of 1,925 bottles.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Boozy cherries and berries, notes of Bakewell Tart with waves of vanilla and almond, with peat smoke and charred oak developing in time.
Palate
Poached stone fruits, a touch of ginger, and toasted marzipan lead to bold, peppery spice and stewed tea.
Finish
Dense tannic oak, tobacco, and red fruits linger, with crackles of toasted pepper and nutmeg lingering.
