The Clydeside Stobcross (70cl, 46%)

Stobcross is the first official single malt from The Clydeside Distillery, in Queen's Dock on the River Clyde in Glasgow. It is named after Stobcross, an old part of the city tied to its port and industry. It is made from 100% Scottish barley and water from Loch Katrine, with a long fermentation. The whisky matures mainly in first-fill bourbon casks with a small share of sherry casks. It is bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill-filtered and of natural colour, in a 70cl bottle. The nose is floral and fresh, with vanilla, honey, tropical fruit, pear, apple and malt. Orchard fruit, vanilla, honey, malted barley and a touch of white pepper show on the palate, and the finish is medium, clean and gently spiced.
