Glengoyne 10 years

At Glengoyne, time has stood still. Here, they are in no hurry and distilling is slower than at any other distillery in Scotland. 

The Glengoyne way they call it, "Unhurried since 1833".

• The grain is dried exclusively by air.
• The stills are the slowest in Scotland
• Preparation of the casks takes 6 years.

Tasting Notes:

Sweet on the nose, with aromas of toffee and popcorn. Slightly nutty, with fresh green apples. On the palate, the sweet green apples return along with soft oak and a hint of liquorice. Add a drop of water and the nutty aromas take over. 

Maturation takes place on a combination of hand-selected sherry casks. Partly made from American oak and partly from Spanish oak.

Glengoyne Distillery

Glengoyne Distillery is located at the foot of the Dumgoyne Hills, just north of Glasgow, on the border of the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. Founded in 1833, Glengoyne is known for its traditional and artisanal approach to whisky production. The distillery is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by green hills and the pure water of nearby springs.

A unique feature of Glengoyne is the use of air-dried barley, instead of the usual peat-drying process, resulting in a mild whisky without smokiness. Glengoyne whiskies are known for their rich, fruity flavour profile with notes of apple, pear, toffee and a subtle hint of spice. The slow distillation process and maturation in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks contribute to the whiskies' complexity and depth.

Glengoyne prides itself on its eco-friendly approach and sustainable practices, such as the use of renewable energy. This distillery can no longer be ignored in the Scotch whisky landscape.
