Glasgow Distillery Debuts A New Triple Distilled Whisky

The Glasgow Distillery Company out of Scotland recently announced its next triple distilled expression: the Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled.

The 1770 Triple Distilled comes after the successful release of the inaugural 1770 Single Malt Triple Distilled expression. This new triple distilled feature is slightly different than the first iteration, but has new elements. 

The latest 1770 Triple Distilled is crafted from malted barley and distilled three times in traditional copper pot stills at the Glasgow Distillery and combined with the pure water of Loch Katrine, the distillery noted in a prepared statement.

The Triple Distilled Release No. 1 was matured exclusively in virgin oak casks, whereas the new iteration has been matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and vigin oak casks married together before bottling to produce what’s described as a smooth and vibrant spirit.

On the nose, the distillery’s official tasting notes reveal, sweet vanilla and white chocolate leading to fresh summer fruits of aromatic apple, pear and peaches.  The palate is well balanced and smooth with vibrant vanilla, soft caramel and double cream opening up to succulent orchard fruits and berries followed by floral notes and a sweet almond nuttiness.

The 1770 Triple Distilled’s finish is long and lingering with notes of rich honey, anise and black pepper and hints of warming woody spice. It is bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in color. It prices for £49.

The latest Glasgow 1770 Triple Distilled will also be available to try alongside four other award winning whiskies from the Glasgow distiller when you book on to one of the distillery’s virtual whisky tastings.
