As Scotland bounces back from the pandemic, the Glasgow Distillery Company is coming back bigger and better than before.
From April, the distillery is launching its new 70cl bottle across its full range of Glasgow 1770 Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
The new design features a more environmentally friendly bottle that uses proportionally less glass than the original 50cl bottle.
The move into the larger bottle size comes at no additional cost, following an increase in production and international growth allowing the distillery to maintain their recommended retail price of £49 per bottle in a commitment to producing their spirits with accessibility at heart.
Liam Hughes, Co-founder and CEO of The Glasgow Distillery, said:
“As Glasgow springs back to her vibrant self, following a difficult couple of years, at The Glasgow Distillery we wanted to come back bigger too, with a larger bottle allowing us to expand our international exports and open up exciting new markets.
“The new packaging is already proving a positive move for us as we prepare to ship orders of our single malt to the US; China; Singapore and a new distribution partner in France for the first time.
“From day one, our mission was to produce a whisky range that is led by flavour and quality, and this new bottle size is another step on that journey. Since our first release in 2018 we have been steadily increasing production across our Glasgow 1770 Signature Range and now we’re thrilled to reveal this bigger bottle with a more environmentally friendly design.”
The new bottles will be available to purchase via the distillery’s website from 10am on Wednesday 6th of April, 2022 at RRP of £49. The range will subsequently be available at specialist retailers across the UK then France, Germany, Denmark, Australia, China, South-East Asia and the US with further export markets offering the new pack later in 2022.

A good move – especially if it is more environmentally friendly. I’ve seen it as a bug-bear from buyers for some time.
Yeah. It MUST have hindered them. I’ve seen so many people comment on it. Tbh it always annoyed me as well.
