Glengoyne 10 years

Glengoyne 10 Years is a refined Highland Single Malt, renowned for its smooth and elegant character. Distilled without peat smoke, this whisky allows the pure flavour of slowly matured malt to shine. Maturation in a combination of European and American oak sherry casks gives it a perfect balance between fruity freshness and gentle spice. An excellent entry-level whisky for fans of smooth, approachable malts.

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.

Glengoyne Distillery

Glengoyne Distillery stands at Dumgoyne, beneath the Campsie Fells and on the historic boundary between the Highlands and Lowlands. Illicit distilling took place at the site from around 1820. The business was licensed in 1833 and continued as Burnfoot Distillery. Its name later changed to Glen Guin and officially became Glengoyne in 1905. Glasgow’s Lang Brothers acquired the distillery in 1876 and remained its owners for almost ninety years. In 1965, it passed through Robertson & Baxter into the group later known as Edrington. The complex was expanded from two stills to three a year later. Since 2003, Glengoyne has belonged to independent family-owned Ian Macleod Distillers.

Glengoyne is distinguished by its deliberately slow production process. The barley is dried entirely with warm air, without peat smoke, while distillation is described by the producer as slower than at any other Scottish distillery. One wash still and two spirit stills provide extensive copper contact. Sherry-seasoned European and American oak casks play an important role. Unusually, the spirit is distilled in the Highlands, while the warehouses across the road stand in the Lowlands.
