14 - Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask Finish Lightly Peated Batch 2 58% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
The Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask Finish release is a six year old bottling, created by marrying five casks together, two of which held our peated single malt, with three holding our unpeated single malt. The whisky within these casks was spent over three years within first fill ex-bourbon barrels before an extended 3 year and 4 month secondary maturation period within Cognac casks.
Cognac is a French Brandy that has been made from grapes and distilled twice within copper pot stills before ageing within oak casks for a minimum of two years. The Cognac influence provides notes of fresh fruit, caramel, toffee and a slight nuttiness.
The year 2022 was the first time we used Cognac casks within our whisky production with a release using our peated single malt which was bottled at 56% ABV. In 2023, we released a triple distilled Cognac finished single malt presented at 52% ABV. This edition is the first time we’ve presented a Cognac-influenced release using a combination of both our unpeated and peated whiskies.
