VELVET ODYSSEY

The Clydeside Distillery X SWG3 X Jim Lambie

Velvet Odyssey sees neighbouring businesses SWG3 and The Clydeside Distillery, and world-renowned visual artist, Jim Lambie, join forces to create a limited-edition Clydeside Single Malt.

Created to mark SWG3’s 20th anniversary, the unique whisky uses water from Loch Katrine and 100% Scottish barley and has been matured in first-fill Bourbon Barrels before spending a further five months finishing maturation in a single Sherry Butt, which had previously held Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry. 

The whisky packaging is decorated in the artwork of SWG3’s long-time friend and world-renowned artist, Jim Lambie. His iconic Paisley Pattern artwork – which was originally made by placing vinyl onto a white Daimler Limousine taken from our former wedding car garage and displayed at the COMME des GARÇONS Guerrilla Store back in 2006 – has been revisited here to decorate both the whisky’s bottle and tubing, whilst paying homage to one of the very first pieces of art to be created at SWG3.

The exciting collaboration has produced a unique whisky with a nose of bright orange zest, pecan and rich plum jam, a palate with notes of poached pear, sticky raisin and cinnamon sugar, and a finish of crystalised ginger and tangy apple peel.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Bright orange zest, pecan and rich plum jam.

Palate: Poached pear, sticky raisin and cinnamon sugar.

Finish: Crystallised ginger and tangy apple peel.

HMS Glasgow

The Official Bottling for the launch of HMS Glasgow.

Glasgow’s maritime heritage runs deep, with the River Clyde shaping the city’s identity as one of the world’s great shipbuilding capitals. The Clydeside Distillery stands as a proud testament to this legacy.

This limited release celebrates the naming ceremony, performed by HRH The Princess of Wales, for HMS Glasgow, the first of the Royal Navy’s cutting-edge Type 26 frigates. Like the legendary ships before her, HMS Glasgow carries forward the spirit of maritime innovation.

This release is matured in Guyanese rum casks, which is a nod to the deep connection between the Royal Navy and rum. For centuries, rum was the lifeblood of the Navy, with daily rations fuelling sailors through arduous voyages. The influence of these casks enriches the whisky with layers of tropical fruit, fudge, and demerara sugar.

Just as Glasgow’s shipyards once sent Clyde-built vessels across the oceans, this whisky carries a spirit of adventure, tradition, and craftsmanship in every drop.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Fresh aromas of fudge, butterscotch and demerara sugar.

Palate: Decadent white chocolate, macadamia nut and tropical fruit.

Finish: Baked orchard fruit with vanilla and nutmeg.

NAPIER

100% sherry cask matured

Robert Napier (1791-1876) rightly regarded as the ‘Father of Clyde Shipbuilding’, had three main mantras, ‘quality, quality, quality.’ His appetite for invention and innovation in steam-engine and ship-building design saw him rub shoulders with royalty and emperors across Europe.

From the fastest and first iron-hulled ships for the Royal Navy, to the quickest Atlantic crossing, he was a man ahead of his time, one who set the template for future generations of shipbuilders.

From his Govan yard, he carried the ‘Clydebuilt’ legend around the globe, with his signature vermilion and black hooped ships’ funnels becoming a worldwide trademark when he went into business with legendary Canadian shipping-magnate, Samuel Cunard.

The Clydeside Distillery, which sits just opposite Napier’s original shipyard, is proud to have applied his name, and mantra - ‘quality, quality, quality’ - to its latest release, a characterful Lowland malt, matured for over 6 years in Oloroso sherry casks.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: ripe berry, sweet rose and tropical tones

Palate: orange marmalade, cherry and vanilla

Finish: warming clove and ginger

STOBCROSS

Bourbon and sherry casks marriage

The ancient state of Stobcross was named after a historic cross which once marked the route to Dumbarton Rock. On this road, in the 1600s, the Anderson family built a fine mansion, Stobcross House, later going on to lay out the prosperous weaving village of Anderston. With time comes change, and in 1875, with the industrial rise of the River Clyde, Stobcross House was demolished to make way for the Queen’s Dock – once the beating heart of Glasgow’s global maritime trade and fame.

Today in the Dock’s former Pumphouse, built-in 1877, that spirit of innovation continues with the combination of experience, passion, and skill to create The Clydeside Distillery’s first release, ‘Stobcross’ – a single malt, rooted in history. Time and tide might have changed the Clyde, but the city’s spirit of innovation and creation still burns bright.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: floral notes, fresh sweetness with tropical tones

Palate: orchard fruits and hints of white pepper

2023 LIMITED EDITION

First-fill bourbon casks - cask strength

At The Clydeside, we don’t want our whisky (nor our customers) boxed in by stereotypes or clichés. With our annual Limited Edition release, The Clydeside hopes to shed a new light on Lowland whisky: highlighting its many beauties, while showcasing its manifold virtues and re-examining its presentation.


The first Clydeside Limited Edition release is a cask strength expression bottled at 60.6% vol., bolstering the intensity of the generally softer Lowland style, while exemplifying its finest attributes. Orange marmalade and fruity malt aromas linger on the nose. The sweetness of the malt marries seamlessly with oak influence from the ex-Bourbon casks the whisky was matured in. The spices and vanilla explode on the finish as the higher proof finally announces itself.

TASTING NOTES

This Clydeside Single Malt is produced using clear water from Loch Katrine, 100% Scottish barley and then matured in the finest Oak casks.

Nose: Bursting with sweet aromas of ripe tropical fruit and vanilla pastries

Palate: Peach and plum, candied orange & marmalade

Finish: Tart citrus, cream soda & lingering spice

Matured in the finest American first fill Bourbon barrels.

Packaging is 100% recyclable. Outer tubes have a perforation allowing for easy recycling of both the tube and the tin ends.

TASTING NOTES

Nose - sweet honey and cinnamon

Palate - classic winter spice, raisin, and Christmas Cake

Finish - lingering warmth
