About this bottle

Glasgow 1770 - Cognac Cask Finished is a scotch whisky from Cognac, Scotland in our whiskey range. It is bottled at 56% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Barbecued fruits, leathery oak, and autumn berries, with smoked tea leading to notes of woody spice; on the palate: Crystalised ginger and hearty peat smoke welcome the way for generous helpings of earthen clove and cinnamon. Fragrant malt brings notes of prunes, chocolate, and a touch of fruity zest; finish: Lingering whispers of peat smoke and bittersweet cocoa, roasted coffee beans, dates, and caramel biscuits.

Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
First Scotch

Peat without the leap of faith.

“I wanted Islay without buying a wall of smoke. The tasting notes on Spirit Hives pointed to a gentler malt. It opened a door instead of slamming one.”
Jonah K.Islay single malt
Tasting night

Tequila I finally sipped.

“An anejo, neat, orange slice, no shot glass. Friends scoffed until the second pour. Two of them have since ordered their own from Spirit Hives.”

Advent calendar

Advent, then a full-size bottle.

“Twenty-four small pours, each with a card. December at our house became a ritual, and we already know which Spirit Hives bottles we are buying properly in January.”
