Revised plans for Glasgow whisky experience and distillery
Plans to create a new visitor attraction and whisky distillery at Glasgow’s Queen’s Dock will be delivered over two phases under newly submitted proposals from Hypostyle-BR Architects.
The Glasgow Whisky Experience and Single Malt Whisky Distillery development will see previously approved plans to extend and convert the existing Pump House building revised to accommodate an exhibition and visitor centre alongside a new build distillery which has been simplified to a straightforward block pavilion.
Currently unoccupied, the Pump House is a Grade ‘B’ Listed building which holds significant aesthetic, social and historical value, and the new development aims to focus and enhance these qualities. The site itself forms part of an area which is currently under ongoing regeneration and the development will make a significant contribution to this process, bringing renewed energy to what has been for some time an underused part of the city.
Space on-site will be retained to allow for the future expansion of visitor facilities within a signature drum-shaped pavilion as originally envisaged and a 6m wide riverfront walkway will be included.
