The Glasgow Distillery has launched a refreshed identity for its Community alongside an exclusive 10-year-old single malt Scotch whisky and a new range of locally produced merch. The releases are available exclusively to Glasgow Distillery Community members through the distillery’s website.
The Glasgow Distillery Community gathers the independent distillery’s most active supporters, including those who hold a free online account and subscribe to its newsletter. Members receive priority access to new releases, exclusive products, special offers and other distillery news.
According to the distillery, the refreshed look “celebrates the passion, creativity and individuality of the people who support the independent Glasgow distillery.”
At the center of the new identity sits Glasgow 1770 Tequila Cask Finish 10 Year Old, the distillery’s first Community Exclusive single cask bottling.
Cask No. 16/856 began maturation in a first-fill ex-Bourbon cask, spending four years and six months there before being transferred to a single Tequila cask for a further five years and six months.
The distillery said the release demonstrates its experimental approach to maturation, exploring how different cask types influence its Glasgow 1770 single malt spirit.
Bottled at 55% ABV and limited to 230 bottles, the whisky offers official tasting notes from the brand of sweet vanilla, tropical pineapple and warming white pepper spice.
Each bottle is presented in a specially designed gift carton. The cartons also include a collection of stickers featuring Community-inspired characters, tasting notes and bottling details, allowing members to personalize their own packaging.
The Glasgow Distillery has also partnered with Glasgow-based clothing brand Urban Pirate to launch a new range of Community merchandise, including T-shirts and hoodies featuring the updated branding.
Produced using 100% organic cotton, the collection has been ethically manufactured with a reported 90% reduction in carbon footprint. The garments are printed using water-based inks, free from ozone-depleting chemicals and volatile solvents.
Founded in 2014, The Glasgow Distillery was the first independent distillery to produce single malt whisky in the city in more than a century, and is known for its Glasgow 1770 and Makar Gin ranges.
The distillery said the new identity recognizes “the role that its customers, supporters and advocates play in shaping the distillery and its future.”
