CEO of Glasgow Distillery, Liam Hughes, said: "We launched the business in 2014 when we first launched Makar Gin and laid down our first whisky cask in March 2015.

"It's hard to believe that this year we have filled and laid down our 5,000 cask.

"Launching our whisky was almost like the birth of a child. It was a momentous occasion."
