The Scots, foreseeing an increase in the cost of whisky, beer and other daily essentials, rose up. Glasgow saw some of the fiercest protests, with malt stores barricaded and the excise men chased from the city. The protesters even destroyed the home of the local member of parliament, who voted in favor of the tax. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMalt Riot is a blend of handpicked single malts from across Scotland with the distillery’s signature Glasgow 1770 single malt at its heart. This light and smooth whisky is bottled at 40% ABV with no age statement. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrab your bottle today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Malt Riot Blended Whisky\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            When The Glasgow Distillery Company opened in 2014, it became the first single malt whisky distillery in Glasgow for over 100 years. Named after one of Glasgow’s original distilleries, which was founded at Dundashill in 1770 and closed at the beginning of the 20th century, The Glasgow Distillery Company embraces the pioneering spirit of Scotland’s first licensed distillers. The founders, Liam Hughes, Mike Hayward and Ian McDougall, are on a mission to bring single malt distilling back to the city, and hope that their venture marks the start of a whole new age of distilling in Glasgow. Committed to authenticity and quality, the distillery’s innovative and skilled team uses the finest ingredients, the best distilling equipment, and best casks from around the world to make a wide portfolio of handcrafted premium spirits. Their whisky, gin, rum and vodka are distilled in five copper pot stills, Annie, Mhairi, Tara, Margaret and Frances. Attention to detail and the superb craft that go into their products have already earned the company a number of awards from international spirits competitions. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Glasgow Distillery Company’s Makar is a juniper-led, handcrafted small-batch Scottish gin of the highest quality. Its name is an old Scottish word for a poet, and the team making the first gin ever to be distilled in Glasgow is as attentive to the process as if it were writing elegant verses. The Glasgow Distillery Company distills its gin seven times in its copper pot still Annie, which was named after one of the founder’s great grandmother. Seven is also the number of botanicals that support the finest juniper berries in each of their gins.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3525\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Malt Riot Blended Whisky bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
