Very interesting tour of a very new distillery located on the Clyde River. Our tour guide, Julia, was very knowledgable and made the experience very fun. Three tastings included in the tour and also offered tastings of other whiskies on sale in the shop. Highly recommend trying the limited edition as well as the one in the sherry cask.

Good experience in a 1 hour compact tour to a modern distillery, which we managed to fit into a one day trip to Glasgow along with two other attractions we wanted to see. Matthew was a friendly and professional host and we learnt about the background and history of whisky making - along with the all important tasting element at the end!
Don't leave Glasgow without a whiskey experience at Clydeside!

I had some time to kill in Glasgow, and figured I couldn't leave the city without having tried some Scottish whiskey. Clydeside Distillery was truly a lovely little spot for a tour, with history and a tasting. I've always been on the fence about whiskey, but figured I was in safe hands with professionals who love their craft. Turns out my palette still needs some time to get used to whiskey, but I learned so much that it's helped me not be as intimidated by it. Definitely a fun little activity to do if you're in Glasgow and want to have a whiskey experience. Didn't try the cafe, but it smelled delicious. Highly recommend!
