Napier Single Malt
The Clydeside Distillery sits just opposite Robert Napier's original shipyard and is proud to have applied his name, and mantra - 'quality, quality, quality' - to its latest release. Napier's is rightly regarded as the 'Father of Clyde Shipbuilding, his appetite for invention and innovation in steamengine 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.
Tasting Notes:

Priced at £56 the whisky is available at the Clydeside Distillery online shop.
