Clydeside Distillery, housed in the former Pumphouse which controlled the entry to Glasgow’s Queen’s Dock, is opening a whisky bar next year to replace its existing cafe. The new bar is due to open in the spring of 2025 and the refurbishment means that the cafe has now been closed to allow the works to take place.
Founded by the Morrison family and by Tim Morrison, formerly of Morrison Bowmore Distillers, Clydeside Distillery opened in 2017, launching its first Single Malt in 2021 followed by its first 100% Oloroso Sherry Cask Single Malt, Clydeside Napier, in the summer of this year – so named, because Robert Napier, the ‘Father of Clyde Shipbuilding” had his shipyard on the opposite bank of the Clyde from the current distillery.
Clydeside describe its whisky as a classic Lowland-style single malt whisky, “embodying a light, fruity character that sets us apart” which, it says also contains the “essence of Glasgow in every sip.”
The latest news also comes as the Distillery launches its first exclusive bottling for its Voyager Club members.
