Glasgow Distillery Online Whisky Tasting

Glasgow Distillery: Online Whisky Tasting

We are delighted to announce our most recent partnership with The Glasgow Distillery Company.

Every Thursday, join us on an online whisky tasting hosted by Once Upon a Whisky from the distillery’s newly re-furbished Tasting Room. Each week, we will be tasting a wonderful set of 5 whiskies delivered directly to your door.

The city of Glasgow, apart from being a vibrant place full of culture, music and amazing food, is also one of the central hubs for the whisky industry in Scotland. Even though The Glasgow Distillery is a relatively new player, their whiskies have become a reference for quality and craftsmanship.

Glasgow Distillery Easter Tasting with Perfectly Paired Hand-crafted Chocolates

Join us and The Glasgow Distillery on Good Friday (Friday 2^nd April) or Easter Sunday (Sunday 4^th April) for a very special Easter Virtual Whisky Tasting featuring three perfectly paired chocolates to match the three single malts in the distillery’s Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Signature Range.

The tasting will, as usual, feature five award-winning whiskies from The Glasgow Distillery whilst also featuring 3 hand-crafted artisanal chocolates, by local Glaswegian chocolatier, Sugarsnap Chocolates.

Each chocolate will pair perfectly with the Original ‘Fresh & Fruity’ Glasgow 1770 Single Malt, the Peated ‘Rich & Smoky’ Single Malt and the Triple Distilled ‘Smooth & Complex’ Single Malt and will only cost £3 more than the normal weekly tastings.

Highlights of the Glasgow Distillery Online Whisky Tasting

Through the tasting, you can expect 1.5 hours of education, culture and loads of storytelling. Our mission as a Scottish whisky tour operator is to educate all our customers about whisky through stories and facts.

Other subjects you will learn during the online whisky tasting:

• The 6 steps you need to know for a proper whisky tasting
• The Scotch whisky regions and their main differences in flavour
• Differences between single malt and blended whiskies
• How small changes in the production methods can highly influence the flavour of whisky
• Differences between casks and how they contribute to the flavour of whisky
• Smoky whiskies and peat
• History and quirky facts about whisky
• Rare whiskies, single cask and cask strength

Our goal is to educate you in all things whisky through a storytelling experience, whether for fun or because you want to learn more about this legendary drink. Our online tasting will give you all the knowledge you need to know when it comes to whisky appreciation.

About the whiskies

Since 2014, The Glasgow Distillery Company has been focused on the production of high-quality spirits. Their product portfolio is absolutely brilliant and even though they are a young distillery, their whiskies are the best proof that younger whiskies can also be of outstanding quality, putting firmly to bed the old view of ‘the older the whisky is, the better quality it is.’
