Clydeside Stobcross

The ancient state of Stobcross was named after a historic cross which once marked the route to Dumbarton Rock. On this road, in the 1600s, the Anderson family built a fine mansion, Stobcross House, later going on to lay out the prosperous weaving village of Anderston. With time comes change, and in 1875, with the industrial rise of the River Clyde, Stobcross House was demolished to make way for the Queen’s Dock – one the beating heart of Glasgow’s global maritime trade and fame.

Today in the Dock’s former Pumphouse, built-in 1877, that spirit of innovation continues with the combination of experience, passion, and skill to create The Clydeside Distillery’s first release, ‘Stobcross’ – a single malt, rooted in history. Time and tide might have changed the Clyde, but the city’s spirit of innovation and creation still burns bright.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: floral notes, fresh sweetness with tropical tones.

Palate: orchard fruits and hints of white pepper.

Clydeside Distillery

Clydeside Distillery is located on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, in the historic Queen's Dock area. The distillery, opened in 2017, is located in a restored 1877 warehouse, which adds to the historical charm of the location. This warehouse was originally built by the grandfather of distillery founder Tim Morrison, who is also an heir to the Morrison Bowmore whisky dynasty.

A specific feature of Clydeside Distillery is its focus on artisan production and local ingredients. The distillery has copper pot stills and uses Scottish barley and water from Loch Katrine. Clydeside produces a light and elegant Lowland single malt whisky, known for its bright, fruity flavours and notes of sweet vanilla and citrus.
