THE new Clydeside Distillery has teamed up with a Glasgow venue to allow visitors to enjoy whisky on tap.

The Scottish Event Campus (SEC) has been working with the distillery, situated at the Western end of the campus, to lay a series of underground pipes parallel to the River Clyde under the site.

The pipes will feed into the Clydebuilt bar and restaurant and give visitors a traditional Scottish welcome and allow group tastings at the end of an event

Professor Glen Still, internationally renowned distiller, said: “This will be one of the first whisky taps available in Glasgow, and we are excited to be able to share our product with SEC’s visitors. The blend will be a one-of-a-kind single malt, using malted barley grown on SEC owned land, just south of Ayr.”

The Clydeside Distillery represents another addition to the regeneration of the Finnieston area, around the Scottish Event Campus, fast becoming one of the most fashionable areas in the city of Glasgow.

"The distillery itself will produce a single malt whisky with all the sweet, mellow and soft characteristics of a lowland distillery.”
