The Clydeside Distillery
About
The Clydeside Distillery, a landmark of Glasgow’s whisky renaissance, invites visitors to step into the heart of Scotch production on the storied banks of the River Clyde. From its flagship Dockside Story Exhibition—where the history of the city’s bustling docks and whisky trade come alive—to the gleaming copper stills and the tasting rooms that echo with the scent of malt, each visit offers an intimate glimpse into the art of Lowland whisky-making. Patrons can choose from a range of themed tours that combine expert narration with curated whisky tastings, including a chocolate and whisky pairing, a hands‑on candy‑cozy creation of a personal 200ml bottle, or an exclusive behind‑the‑scenes experience led by the distillery manager himself. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious first‑timer, the distillery’s warm hospitality, historic setting, and engaging storytelling make for a memorable journey into Scotland’s storied spirit heritage.
