<p>A balanced, Blended Malt Whisky assembled from a range of Scotland’s Single Malts with Glasgows 1770 Single Malt at the heart of it all. </p><p>The original <em>Glasgow Distillery Company </em>operated from 1770 through about 1902, falling to the great Whisky recession that saw many a distillery shutter their doors. The current iteration was founded in 2012 by <em>Liam Hughes, Ian McDougall,</em> and <em>Mike Hayward</em> with production beginning in 2014. They have expanded to produce a wide range of Spirits from Single Malts to Gin and everything in between. And they recently received financing to expand production even further and bring their products to <em>Asia </em>and<em> North America. </em></p><p><em>Malt Riot Blended Malt Scotch Whisky</em> is a combination of Single Malts collected from across Scotland, but Glasgow’s own 1770 Single Malt forms the core of the blend. The result is a balanced and approachable dram with a<em> sweet and zesty profile</em> that reminds us of Christmas cake with a dash of applesauce.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>In 1725, the British government imposed a tax on malted barley. As you might imagine, this was a less-than-popular thing to do. The people revolted and the tax collectors were chased out of the city in an event now known as The Malt Riots.</em></p>
