As we hurtle towards Christmas, it was great to take some time to celebrate the season with Bridgeen Mullen and the team at The Clydeside Distillery. In an event to thank friends, colleagues and supporters, they shared some exciting plans for the New Year, which include the transformation of their cafe space into The Clydeside Whisky Bar. Opening in Spring 2025 this will provide a fabulous new space in which visitors will be able to appreciate the great hospitality and range of whiskies the Distillery offers. Wishing Bridgeen and the team all the best for an exciting year ahead—and we can’t wait to raise a glass at The Clydeside Whisky Bar when it opens.
