Glasgow 1770 Manzanilla Sherry Cask

Glasgow 1770 Manzanilla Sherry Cask Finish Single Cask is an exclusive single-cask bottling crafted by The Glasgow Distillery Company at their distillery in Hillington, Glasgow. Initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, this expression underwent a secondary maturation period in a single hand-selected cask previously seasoned with dry, coastal Manzanilla sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda. Bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtration or artificial coloring, it creates a delicious harmony between Glasgow’s fruity unpeated spirit and the characteristic dry salinity, green apple, and nutty undertones of Manzanilla sherry.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with fresh oysters, salted almonds, Spanish jamón ibérico, pan-seared sea bass, smoked trout, and mild goat cheese.

Tasting Notes: A crisp, bright, and complex Lowland single malt featuring notes of green apple, coastal salinity, toasted hazelnut, honeyed malt, and delicate oak spice.

Nose: Fresh aromas of crisp green apple, lemon zest, chamomile tea, salted almonds, vanilla pod, and a subtle sea spray brine.

Palate: Light and zesty on the palate with layers of poached pear, dry sherry nuttiness, buttered brioche, sea salt flakes, and warm oak spice.

Finish: Clean, crisp, and medium to long with lingering dry nuttiness, light citrus peel, and gentle saline oak.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass or with a few drops of spring water to open up its delicate floral, nutty, and saline sherry layers.
