The Clydeside Distillery's Stobcross is a single malt whisky with a rich history and flavor profile. The name "Stobcross" is derived from the historic Stobcross estate, owned by the Anderson family in the 17th century, later becoming the site of a thriving weaving industry in the village of Anderson. The distillery is situated on Stobcross Road, which historically served as the main route from Dumbarton to Anderson.
The whisky itself is crafted using fresh water from Loch Katrine and 100% Scottish barley, matured in the highest quality oak casks. This inaugural release from The Clydeside Distillery is made with the expertise of the Morrisons, who have sourced top-quality ingredients from renowned suppliers such as Simpsons Malt.
On the nose, it is refreshing and sweet, with hints of tropical fruits, florals, and a touch of white peppercorn. The palate reveals apples, pears, and subtle white peppercorn, leading to a bright and fruity finish. The taste is initially dominated by white fruit, followed by a medley of spices, with white pepper lingering on the tongue. The finish is soft yet flavorful, with warming spices nicely blending with the fruit notes.
This whisky serves as a nod to the golden age of Glasgow, once the center of production for Scotland's unparalleled single malt whiskies. The Clydeside Distillery's Stobcross is a fitting tribute to the city's rich whisky-making heritage.
