Glasgow 1770 - Peated Cask Strength Batch 3 - 0.7L

Glasgow 1770 – Peated Cask Strength Batch 3

Rarely does the interplay of untamed power and artisanal precision become as clear in the glass as with this single malt. When a smoky distillate in its purest form – unfiltered and at full strength – meets the profound sweetness of noble sherry casks, an experience is created that goes far beyond ordinary taste and directly appeals to the senses.

Urban Craftsmanship and Double Maturation

Since 2012, The Glasgow Distillery has been reshaping the proud tradition of its hometown, focusing on transparency and authenticity. This single malt made from malted barley first matured in Virgin American White Oak before receiving its defining finish in Pedro Ximénez Sherry Hogsheads. This combination of fresh wood and the intense fruitiness of the sherry lends the heavily peated spirit an extraordinary complexity, which has been masterfully captured in this limited Batch 03 with an edition of merely 1,000 bottles.

A Play of BBQ Smoke and Dark Fruit

Even the deep terracotta color in the glass hints at the aromatic density awaiting the connoisseur. On the nose, a striking bouquet of spicy BBQ sauce and smoked Ibérico ham unfolds, balanced by the sweetness of poached plums and flambéed orange zest. On the palate, the full intensity of 61.0% Vol. is revealed, embedded in notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaves, and toasted oak chips, leading to a long, spicy finish.

Intensity for Connoisseurs and Discoverers

This whisky is an explicit recommendation for lovers of characterful, peated profiles who seek authenticity. Due to its high cask strength, it is advisable to experiment with a few drops of cool water to gently unfold the complex fruit aromas behind the smoke curtain. Presented in a high-quality packaging with copper-colored accents, this Pedro Ximénez Sherry Finish is a striking statement of modern Lowland distilling art for special moments.
