The Clydeside Distillery

A permanent display at The Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow, covering the whisky industry, the city's history and the making of Clydeside single malt.

The display is built around a guided tour of the distillery, which traces the whisky industry and Glasgow's history on the Clyde. Visitors follow the production process, from malting and mashing to fermentation and distillation, and see the copper wash still and spirit still in place. Live footage and animation are used to bring the story to life, and the tour also offers a view down the River Clyde.

The tour ends in the tasting room, where visitors sample three small measures to see how different casks shape the flavour of the Clydeside single malt. The onsite whisky bar, where cocktails, beer, tea, coffee and light bites are served, can be visited before or after the tour.

The visit suits anyone interested in industrial heritage, Glasgow's dockside past or the process behind Scotch whisky. It is a display to take at a relaxed pace, with the guide explaining each stage of production.
