Clydeside’s Packaging References The Distillery Site’s Ship-Building Past

Published

The Clydeside Distillery is a family-owned whisky distillery and visitor center in Glasgow, Scotland, with a clear mission to revive distilling in Glasgow and tell the story of Scotland’s greatest export.

The site of the distillery plays a pivotal role in shaping the brand identity, narrative, and visitor experience. Located on the banks of the River Clyde, the contemporary architecture of the distillery adjoins a historic pump house, originally built in 1877. The pump house provided hydraulic power for the Queen’s Dock and its swing-bridge, allowing ships to enter and exit the dock with their precious loads of tea, sugar, tobacco, and of course whisky.
