Clydeside Napier 46% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
Clydeside's much-anticipated new core release, Napier, is produced using clear water from Loch Katrine, 100% Scottish barley and has been matured for over 6 years in Oloroso sherry casks.
Robert Napier is regarded as the 'Father of Clyde Shipbuilding'. With a reputation for innovation and invention, his shipyard sat just across the water from the distillery.
Napier's mantra of 'quality, quality, quality' is at the heart of The Clydeside Distillery, so they're understandably proud to apply his name to this characterful Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Natural colour and un-chill filtered.

Clydeside Distillery
In 2017, Tim Morrison opened The Clydeside Distillery, fulfilling his ambition to revive distilling Single Malt Whisky once more in Glasgow. With over a century of whisky making in his family history, starting with Stanley P. Morrison who was one of Glasgow’s most successful whisky brokers, it seems fitting that Tim is now bringing whisky distilling back to the docks of the city.
Whisky runs through Glasgow's industrial heritage like the River Clyde itself. Which is why the gleaming new Clydeside Distillery at the old Queens Dock has a touch of the inevitable about it.
The Distillery is located in the Pumphouse building, which once controlled all the comings and goings for the famous Queen’s Dock. This building pumped hydraulic power for the swing bridge, witnessing ships leaving the docks carrying whisky destined for every continent.
