Glasgow 1770 Passito Di Caluso Cask Batch 1
The Tasting Notes
Coastal notes on the nose, opening with a gentle salinity and sweet, drifting smoke. Notes of sun-dried hay and polished wood emerge, layered with candle wax, bright lemon zest and an underlying earthy depth.
The palate is rich yet composed, with honeyed sweetness carrying flavours of dried apricot and maritime air, wrapped in waves of soft smoke and smoked sea salt.
A long and satisfying finish, remaining rich and honeyed to the end. Baked banana and candied ginger develop alongside lingering candle wax and a mineralic smoky glow.
Details
Glasgow 1770 Passito Di Caluso Cask Batch 1 is a limited edition peated single malt Scotch whisky from The Glasgow Distillery.
This five-year-old release is drawn from two casks (#20/1627 and #20/1629), originally filled on 12th October 2020 with double distilled peated new make spirit. The whisky was initially matured for 3 years and 8 months in first fill Wild Turkey ex-bourbon barrels, before being re-racked into Passito di Caluso sweet wine hogsheads on 17th June 2024.
Following a further 1 year and 8 months of maturation, the whisky was bottled on 16th March 2026 at 57.8% ABV.
With only 690 bottles produced, this release combines the distillery’s peated single malt style with the influence of Italian sweet wine casks, creating a distinctive limited edition bottling.
