Description
The Glasgow MALT RIOT blended malt Scotch whisky is a tribute to Glasgow’s rebellious history and the resilience of its inhabitants. Inspired by the Malt Riots of 1725, when the city’s population protested against the introduction of a tax on malted barley, this whisky combines tradition and modern craftsmanship.
Produced by the Glasgow Distillery, originally founded in Glasgow 1770 and revitalised in 2013, this blended malt is a blend of the Glasgow Distillery’s single malt and other carefully selected Scottish single malts. The result is a smooth, well-balanced whisky with fruity and spicy notes that will appeal to beginners and experienced connoisseurs alike.
With an alcohol content of 40 % vol., MALT RIOT offers an accessible yet complex flavour profile that comes into its own on its own, on ice or in cocktails.
Tasting NoteColour: Light gold.
Nose: Fresh citrus fruits, apple, vanilla and light honey notes with a subtle maltiness.
Flavour: Soft and round with notes of sweet malt, toffee, ripe pears and a fine oak note.
Finish: Medium-long and smooth with a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice.
The Glasgow MALT RIOT is ideal for pure enjoyment or as a versatile base for cocktails. Perfect for a whisky highball, a penicillin cocktail or a classic whisky sour. In culinary terms, it harmonises particularly well with mild Scottish cheese, roasted nuts or apple pie, which emphasise its fruity and malty notes.
