THE GLASGOW DISTILLERY CELEBRATES END OF LANDMARK YEAR
The Glasgow Distillery, Glasgow’s first new independent single malt whisky distillery in more than a century when it was founded in 2012, is closing out one of the most significant years in its history, with 21 new single malt releases, the introduction of a sell-out new tour experience and major strides in sustainability.
The distillery, which marked a decade of whisky production in March, released its first 10-Year-Old single malt earlier this year – an anniversary bottling that sold out in under 20 minutes. This set the tone for a year characterised by heightened demand and international expansion. Across 2025, the distillery introduced a record 21 releases across global markets including Germany, Belgium and Finland.
As the distillery’s profile grew overseas, its team met more than 60,000 whisky fans at events in seven countries. Closer to home, The Glasgow Distillery deepened its ties within the city’s hospitality scene through new collaborations with venues such as Rascal and wine-and-negroni bar Malo, reflecting a focus on engaging Glasgow’s growing community of spirits-led bars.
Another major step this year was the launch of The Glasgow Distillery Experience, opening the working distillery to visitors for the first time. All 14 tour dates offered in 2025 sold out quickly, with guests gaining rare behind-the-scenes access to the innovation lab, production areas and the on-site cooperage, one of the few remaining in Scotland.
The distillery expanded its award-winning Glasgow 1770 Single Malt range this year with the launch of two new annual releases: Glasgow 1770 Ruby Port Cask Finish and Glasgow 1770 Bourbon Cask Matured. It also celebrated a series of major accolades, including Excellence in Branding at The Scottish Whisky Awards, Best Lowland Single Malt for its Glasgow 1770 Peated, and Best Small Batch Single Malt for its Ruby Port Cask Finish at the World Whiskies Awards Scotland 2026. In addition, the distillery’s onsite cooper, Hugh McMurray, was named Cooper of the Year, and the distillery itself received a Highly Commended recognition in the Distillery of the Year category.
Environmental progress formed a central strand of activity in 2025, with The Glasgow Distillery reporting a 40% reduction in water usage and a 20% cut in gas consumption across the site, delivered through targeted efficiency measures and long-term sustainability initiatives.
“Marking ten years of whisky making has been a significant moment for us, but the momentum we’ve seen throughout 2025 has been just as important, especially against the backdrop of a challenging whisky market. From record international releases to opening our doors to the public for the first time, and building stronger relationships across Glasgow’s hospitality scene, this year reflects how far the distillery has come since 2012. The response from whisky drinkers at home and abroad has been exceptional, and these achievements put us in a strong position as we enter our next decade.”
Mike Hayward, Founder of The Glasgow Distillery
