SPIRITS, LIQUEURS, WINES, BEERS, NON-ALCOHOLIC, READY TO DRINKS & SOFT DRINKS
Suntory Global Spirits, a world leader in premium spirits, has launched its first standalone commercial business in the UK. The company is now directly responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of its portfolio of world-renowned spirits brands in the UK.
On the 5th of March 2025, The Glasgow Distillery is celebrating a milestone ten years since the filling of its very first whisky cask. Established with a vision to reignite Glasgow’s rich whisky-making heritage, The Glasgow Distillery filled Cask No. 1 on March 5th, 2015, with the release of its flagship single malt Glasgow 1770 The Original following in 2018.
Over the past decade, the distillery has pushed the boundaries of whisky-making, crafting single malts that capture Glasgow’s vibrant character. By creating three styles of new make spirit, the whisky makers achieve multiple distinct flavour profiles, offering a wide spectrum of choices for their whisky portfolio each year.
Mike Hayward, co-founder of The Glasgow Distillery, commented: “Filled on March 5th, 2015, Cask No. 1 marked the beginning of our journey to revive Glasgow’s whiskymaking legacy. From the start, our mission has been to bring single malt distilling back to the city, drawing inspiration from Glasgow’s rich heritage while embracing innovation.
“The last ten years have been actionpacked and we’re incredibly grateful to our passionate fanbase who have been at our side from the beginning and supported our mission of making premium spirits that
Making premium spirits that are true to our three core principles of Authenticity, Transparency, and Accessibility.
As The Glasgow Distillery looks to the future, it remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of whisky innovation while staying true to its roots. With special celebratory bottlings planned for later this year, the distillery invites whisky lovers and connoisseurs to join in commemorating this significant milestone and to raise a glass to the next chapter in its journey.
As The Glasgow Distillery celebrate 10 Years of Whisky Making, and in April released their first 10 Year Old single malt, we thought it would be a good time to sit down with their Founder, Mike Hayward, and ask him some questions.
How did you become Co-Founder of The Glasgow Distillery?
I founded The Glasgow Distillery in 2012 alongside my long-term business partner, Liam Hughes. Before embarking on our distillery journey, we had both been in the drinks industry for over 20 years working across business development, brand strategy, product launches, operations, and project management for a wide number of well renowned drinks brands, including whisky. The drinks industry has been central to my entire working life and the experience of seeing the exciting changes and innovation across spirit categories is one of the reasons we produce not only single malt Scotch Whisky at The Glasgow Distillery, but also gin, vodka, rum and blended malt Scotch, too.
What does whisky mean to you?
Whisky is both pleasure and business and it’s a privilege to be able to call it both. I enjoy whisky in my downtime and find joy in discovering new brands and new expressions that are innovative and have a similar ethos to us, pushing the boat out in terms of experimentation and creating single malts that offer up a diverse range of exciting flavour profiles. From a business perspective, whisky means working hard to deal with the demands of the day-to-day running of an operating distillery and all the challenges that are associated with that, which can subsequently be celebrated when the fruits of our labour become our latest releases
How has The Glasgow Distilleryand its whisky - evolved over the past decade?
We filled our first cask 10 years ago, and in 2018 launched Glasgow 1770 Single Malt. This was followed by our Peated release in 2019, and Triple
Distilled in 2020 — together forming our Signature Range. These three distinct spirit styles reflect our modern, urban approach to whisky making, allowing us to create depth and character from the very start, not just through cask influence. In 2022, we introduced our Small Batch Series – limited editions that explore how our spirits interact with different cask types. They’ve quickly become a favourite with both our team and customers, and we have more coming soon. As our whisky has evolved, so has our distillery. We doubled our stills in 2019, and in 2024 added our own cask warehouse and cooperage to enhance how we mature and care for our whiskies. On the 15th of April this year we launched our first 10 Year Old Single Malt – a single cask celebratory release. It was a bottling of cask 15/10 (the tenth cask we filled) and we were thrilled to see such a positive response to the bottling which sold out in under 30 minutes. Watch this space for more milestone releases coming soon!
What’s on the horizon for the next 10 years? Anything you’re particularly looking forward to? Our distillery is still young and at the beginning of an exciting growth phase. With new team members bringing great experience and fresh energy to the wider team plus a site expansion now under way, we have a solid long-term plan and there’s lots of exciting developments in the pipeline. With our products now in over 25 countries, and counting, over the next ten years I hope to see our brands continue their expansion globally, entering new markets and building a growing global community of Glasgow Distillery enthusiasts who enjoy the authenticity and transparency that our brands offer.
What’s the one dram you couldn’t live without?
The whisky that started it all, Glasgow 1770 The Original. The Original is initially matured in firstfill bourbon before a finish in virgin oak. An incredibly well rounded, delicious and refreshing whisky that will always hold a special place in my heart.
What about outside of single malt, what other spirits do you produce and how should they be best served to customers?
Our Blended Malt, Malt Riot is the perfect backbar blended malt pour – easy drinking and well priced for the on-trade. I particularly like it within a whisky sour. G52 Botanical Vodka is a range of naturally flavoured vodka which we distil. The Fresh Citrus version makes a great highball with soda water or tonic. The Rich Coffee expression is perfect at the heart of an espresso martini. Makar Gin is the first produce we launched and is the first ever gin to come from Glasgow. Juniper-forward and bold, the Original Dry flagship expression is great within a martini or a classic G&T garnished with a fine slice of mild green chilli pepper. And, we produce a range of rums, too. Banditti Club Glasgow Spiced Rum is our core range expression is work great within a ginger beer highball with fresh lime or mixed into a variety of cocktails such as a mai tai. Despite being a small distillery with only 16 staff, we’re proud to make a broad range of spirits and offer our on-trade customers a portfolio of authentically Glasgowmade products.
This year, The Glasgow Distillery are celebrating 10 Years of Whisky Making.
Founded by two friends, this is an independently-owned and independentlyminded team working to the principles of Authenticity, Transparency, and Accessibility across everything they do.
Their flagship product is the Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky. A range of single malts that showcase not one but three completely different styles of production, across double distilled, triple distilled, and peated whiskies. These three styles inform their award-winning Signature Range.
The small team of 16 spirit lovers also create a portfolio of flavour-packed products across gin, vodka, and rum. These character-rich brands are each inspired by a story rooted in their city’s heritage and history.

“Around a third of the whisky is matured in oloroso sherry casks and that brings in all of those incredibly rich aromas of dried fruit and spice. Another third will be matured in bourbon barrels, this is where the sweetness comes from; vanilla, honey and crème caramel. The final third is matured in refill casks. These casks allow the spirit to mellow and evolve, allowing the distillery character to shine.“

No chill filtering, no added colour — just good, honest whisky.
Our Master Blender Jill Boyd has chosen a combination of Oloroso sherry butts & Ex-Islay peated casks, for our new release Cask Strength Batch 3, creating a whisky that balances richness and depth with a surprising twist of smoke.
Our Cask Strength release sits beside our core single malt expression, Our Barely, using a combination of Bourbon, Oloroso sherry & STR casks, resulting in a whole new level of depth and complexity to the final whisky.
01/ THE CAVE SPRING LYNCHBURG’S NATURAL RESOURCE
Jack’s not-so-secret ingredient-limestone spring water-lives within the depths of a two-mile deep cave.
CHARCOAL MELLOWED
02/ CRAFTING CHARCOAL IT TAKES FIRE TO MAKE JACK
The adherence to detail that comes with making our whiskey starts with cra ing our own charcoal for mellowing. It’s tough work, but nothing good comes easy. But when you’re building a 2000-degree fire on a hot summer day, boy, you kind of wish it would.
03/ DISTILLATION CORN, RYE, BARLEY & PRIDE
Our whiskey wouldn’t be what it is without Jack Daniel’s mash recipe. He found the perfect mix of corn, rye, and barley and we haven’t changed it since.
04/ CHARCOAL MELLOWING MELLOWED DROP BY DROP
We let our whiskey slowly drip through 10 of hard maple sugar charcoal so it comes out with its distinctive smoothness. It’s a costly, time-consuming process, and if it sounds extravagant, well, it is.
JASPER NEWTON (JACK) DANIEL REGISTERED HIS STILL AT THE CAVE SPRING HOLLOW, LYNCHBURG, TENNESSEE IN 1866, MAKING THE JACK DANIEL DISTILLERY THE OLDEST REGISTERED DISTILLERY IN THE UNITED STATES. THE IRON-FREE, MINERAL-RICH CAVE SPRING WATER PROVIDES THE PERFECT START IN MAKING A WORLDFAMOUS, MEDAL-WINNING WHISKEY AND SO THE DISTILLERY HAS REMAINED HERE EVER SINCE THE DAYS OF JACK.
JACK THE MAN.
Fiercely independent with strong values, grit, and entrepreneurial spirit that still touches what we do every day.
EVERY DAY WE MAKE IT WE MAKE IT THE BEST WE CAN.
05/ MATURATION HURRYING NEVER HELPED GOOD WHISKEY
Our whiskey goes into the barrel colourless and raw. Years later, it will pour out a beautiful amber, its rawness turned smooth and complex. Exactly how many years later? That’s a question decided by Mother Nature and Father Time.
A commitment to quality, cra , and never cutting corners.
Steadfast and resolute in making it the same way since 1866.
IT’S NOT SCOTCH, IT’S NOT BOURBON, IT’S JACK.
Born out of the premise of intentionally doing it differently. Extra step in the charcoal mellow, burning our own charcoal, square bottle; all done to stand out.
EVERY DROP FROM LYNCHBURG SINCE 1866.
Every drop from one small place with big character. Built by an intergenerational, hardworking, and proud community.

Used for decades in music and movies as a symbol and shorthand of badass swagger and American iconicity.

David comments: “Vermouth has always been in our drinks cabinet, but for a lot of people it’s the last thing you think of when stocking your home bar Reflecting on this over a negroni one night the answer suddenly hit us, why not use the greatest spirit in the world, Scottish new- make malt, to make something boldly different?
