Garnet Well distillery

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Also called Garnett Well or Cowcaddens, Garnet Well was a short-lived urban distillery in Glasgow that survived just a year from 1825-6 in the Garnethill/Cowcaddens area.

It is one of around 33 lost licensed distilleries in the Glasgow area.

Its OS coordinates would place it today at the junction of West Graham Street, Garscube Road and Cowcaddens Road, close to Cowcaddens station on the city’s underground. What the area looked like nearly two centuries ago is difficult to ascertain, but it is possible that some local burn ran through the area and would have been a water source.
