Glasgow Distillery Small Batch Series Competition


Be it for one of our Tweet Tastings or monthly bottle competitions, we love nothing more than being able to share and giveaway some amazing drops of drammage. Talking of which, we’re delighted to announce that we’re teaming up with our good friends at the Glasgow Distillery, to give away not just one but two of their latest Small Batch Series releases.

Glasgow 1770 Cognac Cask Finish (58% ABV) a lightly peated single malt Scotch whisky, comprised of unpeated and peated spirit, which was initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, before being finished in premium French Cognac casks. 

Glasgow 1770 Tokaji Cask Finish (54.8% ABV) an unpeated single malt Scotch whisky, which was initially matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, before being finished in Hungarian Tokaji wine casks. 

Both expressions have been matured for six years and are the first age stated releases in the Glasgow 1770 Small Batch Series.

Brave New Spirits Tweet Tasting


Continuing our teeming throng of industry leading Tweet Tastings (the original series of virtual tastings), we’re thrilled to announce that on August 21st, we’ll be teaming up again with our very good friends at Brave New Spirits, for another epic evening of indie bottle fuelled Tweet Tasting dramfotainment.

Since launching in 2020, the Glasgow based Brave New Spirits have taken the whisky world by storm with their multi-award-winning and internationally renowned Voodoo, Cask Noir, Yellow Edition and Whiskyheroes brands. Adding to the momentum, last year they also announced the very exciting news of their plans to build a distillery in Campbeltown – the building of which is now underway and the new Witchburn Distillery is due to start production later this year.

As per our previous Brave New Spirits events, on the night we’ll be pouring and exploring some stunning sensory stories from across their portfolio, so if you fancy taking part in what promises to be an epic (in every sense of the word) evening of tweet tastery click here to register by emailing your name, Twitter handle, postal address, phone number and date of birth. Please also remember to mark the subject line of your email: #BraveNewSpirits

The closing date to register is July 29th, and if you are registering to take part, please make sure that you will actually be free on the evening of August 21st to take part!

Even if you're not one of the selected Tweet Tasters, it'd be great to have you following all the evening’s dramfotainment. So we very much look forward to seeing you over on Twitter / X on August 21st from 19:00 BST via #BraveNewSpirits

Registration open to over 21's only!
