Glasgow no longer had a distillery
Glasgow was once the trading centre of Scotch whisky: blending, trading and shipping took place here. Distilleries, however, disappeared from the city almost entirely. The Clydeside brought single malt back to the city, in a small building on the Clyde that used to keep the water in Queen’s Dock at level.
The Morrison family has been in whisky for generations and also owns the independent bottler A.D. Rattray. The process water comes from Loch Katrine, the same water that Glasgow drinks from the tap.
The bottles we have in stock
All three at forty-six percent; the difference lies in the cask.
All named after the same quay
- The distillery in brief
- 1877The pump house is being built.
- 2017The distillery opens.
- 2017The first casks are filled, in December.
- 2021Stobcross, the first single malt of its own.
Stobcross was the first, in October 2021: matured in bourbon casks, at forty-six percent. The name refers to Stobcross House, the mansion that was demolished in 1875 to make way for Queen’s Dock.
Napier is matured entirely in oloroso casks and named after Robert Napier, the nineteenth-century shipbuilder who made the Clyde great and whose motto was: quality, quality, quality.
Fortnight is the house’s first peated whisky, from October 2025: at least six years old, made from one hundred percent Scottish barley smoked with Highland peat, not chill-filtered. The name refers to the two weeks a year in which peated distillate is distilled.
The building that kept the dock dry now holds casks.
What these bottles go with
Lowland single malt is generally lighter and more approachable than the Highlands or Islay. A good place to start.
Put Stobcross and Napier side by side; the same whisky, only a different cask, and you notice it immediately.
