The Clydeside Distillery

About

A single-malt whisky distillery built into the restored Queen's Dock pumphouse on the north bank of the Clyde, a few minutes from the Riverside Museum, distilling since 2017 as part of Glasgow's small wave of city whisky-making. Standard tours run through the working stills and finish with a tasting, with longer tasting-led and private tour options also bookable. The visitor centre and shop are open the same days as the tours; book online, especially for weekend slots.
