The distilling magic happens within our unique copper pot stills christened: ‘Annie’, ‘Mhairi’ and ‘Tara’ – after family members of the three founders – and ‘Margaret’ and ‘Frances’, named after two of Glasgow’s most influential female artists and sisters, Margaret and Frances MacDonald.

Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Glasgow Distillery vision has been brought to life through the creation of our whisky brand – Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The mission for Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been to create a contemporary whisky brand, accessible for anyone who enjoys premium spirits, which has a core range of three distinctively different single malts reflecting a different production style in each.

Glasgow 1770 Single Malt seeks to pay homage to this city’s great whisky heritage whilst at the same time re-igniting the city’s single malt distilling future.

As the first new independent whisky distillery in the city for over 100 years, we are leading the way for a new wave of single malt distilleries, not just in the city of Glasgow, but also across Scotland.
