A repurposed warehouse is utilised to house the equipment within; planning efficient use of this space is paramount and the shape of the distillery infrastructure starts to take shape.
Glasgow distillery is a freestanding, independently owned distillery that was started by two friends in 2012 with a mission to bring premium spirits distillation back to Scotland’s biggest city. We’re Glasgow’s distillery. Always aspiring to do better, we punch above our weight and aim to push the boundaries. We’re a team of 16 spirit lovers who create a portfolio of flavour-packed spirits across whisky, gin, vodka, and rum. These character-rich products are each inspired by a story rooted in our city’s heritage and history. We run our distillery on the following three core principles:
Our distillery is located on the outskirts of the city in the industrial estate, Hillington. This is our home, and our industrial heritage runs through everything we do – creating premium products with a no-nonsense, honest, and down-to-earth attitude. Our distillery is hands-on, with little automation, which is why we have an unusually large distillation team (given our size) and our own on-site cooper.
We’re upfront and honest about what we do. We share as much detail about our production and products as possible. With nothing to hide, we welcome those enthusiasts who want to take a deep dive into our process and our ethos.
We’re making great quality products that can be enjoyed by all. We don’t use over-the-top marketing methods or hard-to-understand language. We don’t aspire for an ever-growing premiumisation of our output. We’re offering quality spirits, that are approachable and easy to enjoy, at an affordable price
