Clydeside Distillery

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“Absolutely stunning Whisky distillery in Glasgow, right next to the Clyde River. Hence the name Clydeside. We took the guided tour which took around 50min to 1 hour. The tour showed the history of the docks at Glasgow and also important facts about the Scottish Whisky. The tour started with history, went into a theoretical lesson about creating Whisky to then go into the distillery itself and see all the steps, just learned before, live in action. From the mashing to the distillation process itself. At the end there was a quick tasting with three different kinds of Clydeside 's own Whisky. Can highly recommend taking the interesting tour!”

“Having visited bundles of distilleries this one is different but worth a visit. Within glasgow city so not as picturesque as other scottish distilleries but a good value tour and tasting at £20pp. 3 drams in the tasting is their core ranger unpeated 6yo, sherry finish 6yo and a peated version. All very tasty with flavour beyond its years. Full bottle prices are very reasonable.”

“We loved our tour of the Clydeside Distillery. A modern place mixed with a historic Port and they share the history. You'll see their process and a museums they have upstairs. The scotch is quite good and our guide Melissa was exceptionally personable. Worth a stop and a short walk from the Riverside museum.”

“Absolutely beautiful distillery. Brilliant selection of Whisky and the staff know their stuff! The cafe was cosy and the venison salami with oat crackers are to die for. Do miss the hot toddies though as it's a great winter warmer but are sadly no longer on the menu, neither are the cakes. Highly recommend a visit!”

“Recommended! The tour is quite short but interesting. It ends with a tasting session so make sure you are ready for that. If you don’t want to drink or are driving, you are offered some glass containers so you can take the samples with you to try later.”
