The Coopers Cask Release takes the unpeated spirit from an exceptional ex-port cask filled by ourselves in 2015, and lays it to rest in a unique hand-built cask that consists of half heavily charred virgin oak staves from Kelvin Cooperage and half ex-Glasgow 1770 Single Malt cask staves. Each set of staves interlocks with the other to form one unique vessel – a perfect Hogshead – which is said to highlight the power of Kelvin Cooperages virgin American Oak, balanced against the wonderfully smooth and fruity spirit being produced here at The Glasgow Distillery. The result is a wonderfully balanced single malt with soft notes of honey, summer fruits and toffee, a harmonious marriage of complex sweetness with a long, rich and slightly spicy finish.

Distillery Information

The Glaswegian roots of Kelvin Cooperage can be traced back to the year 1963 when, on the banks of the River Kelvin, a local man, Ed McLaughlin, opened his own cooperage and started to repair and rejuvenate casks for whisky distilleries across Scotland and Ireland. In the early 1990s, Ed saw that the bourbon trade in the US was booming and, supported by his two sons Kevin and Paul, moved the business to Louisville, Kentucky where they began to service some of the biggest and best distilleries and wine producers in the country. Despite being located at the other side of the Atlantic, the two brothers never forgot their roots and made frequent returns back to their home city, Glasgow. Fast forward to 2012, The Glasgow Distillery sets out on a mission to bring single malt distilling back to the city, soon becoming Glasgows first independent single malt distillery for over one hundred years. We then embark on a journey to find casks of the highest quality within which they could mature our spirit.
