The Clydeside Distillery has released its first official single malt Scotch whisky, after almost four years of maturation.
Stobcross, a Lowland single malt, was matured in American and European oak casks, and is now available to purchase from the distillery shop and website.
The company is owned by Morrison Glasgow Distillers, with whisky production returning to the banks of the River Clyde for the first time in a century when the new distillery opened in 2017.
Chairman Tim Morrison is the great grandson of John Morrison, who originally built The Queen’s Dock in the 1870s.
The project to transform The Pump House into an operational whisky distillery began in 2012, with The Clydeside Distillery opening its doors to the public in November 2017.
The Clydeside Distillery will be closed between 31 October and 15 November due to COP26. While online orders will continue, collections from the distillery will not be available from 17 October.
An international release of Stobcross is planned over the coming months.
Andrew Morrison, commercial director at Morrison Glasgow Distillers, said: “Today marks a culmination of many years of hard work.
“Stobcross pays tribute to Glasgow’s industrial heritage and the spirit of innovation which forged its position on the global stage.
“Our whisky has been lying patiently waiting for almost four years - this precious time, along with our distiller’s skills and craftsmanship, has created something truly special. We’re incredibly proud to launch our very first single malt.”
