In years gone by, any whisky fan visiting Glasgow would have to travel further out to Glengoyne in Killearn and Auchentoshan in Clydebank to enjoy the full whisky distillery experience. However, a new site on the banks of the River Clyde not far from the city centre recently changed that.
Clydeside Distillery, which opened at the historic Queens Docks in 2017, is now a mecca for whisky fans visiting (or living in) Glasgow, with thousands making the short trip from Glasgow City Centre along the Clyde to enjoy its incredible visitor experience.
Not only is it a delight for the Instagram generation on the outside with its mix of historic and modern aesthetics – a glass-fronted still house looking out to the Clyde and proudly showing off its two copper stills is connected to a former pumphouse at the docks – but inside you'll find plenty for any visitor to enjoy, including some great whisky.
