The Glasgow Distillery's iconic, blended malt, Malt Riot pays tribute to the 1725 riots. At the time, the Scottish government had decided to impose taxes on the production of malted barley. The city of Glasgow was hit particularly hard by these events, because the home of a member of parliament who had supported this law was destroyed, which caused a furor in the papers. Under pressure, the government backed off and the tax didn't come to pass. This product, which combines a large proportion of The Glasgow Distillery's single malt with a rigorous selection of single malts from other distilleries, expresses all the expertise of a nation that is determined to preserve its heritage.
