WHEN EVERYTHING IS HURTLING ALONG AROUND US, WE HOLD TRUE TO PRACTICES HONED OVER CENTURIES. OUR UNIQUE DISTILLATION PROCESS HAS EVOLVED LITTLE BY LITTLE IN PURSUIT OF PERFECTION OVER THE BEST PART OF TWO CENTURIES.

WE BELIEVE NOTHING IS AS PRECIOUS AS TIME. ITS PASSING CAN BE MEASURED, BUT ITS VALUE CANNOT. SO, WE'LL KEEP MOVING AT OUR OWN PACE, TO CREATE EXTRAORDINARY WHISKY, CREATING IMPRESSIONS THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A SECRET WATERFALL, GENERATIONS OF THE CONNELL FAMILY MADE ILLICIT SPIRIT IN THE WOODED HILLS BEHIND WHERE OUR DISTILLERY STANDS TODAY. OUR LEGAL STATUS MAY HAVE CHANGED BUT WE STILL USE WATER FROM THE SAME HILLS TODAY, CONNECTING US TO OUR ORIGINS LIKE A RIVER TO ITS SOURCE.

EVERY WINTER, THE HILL BEHIND OUR DISTILLERY BECOMES A BEACON FOR MIGRATING FLOCKS OF GEESE, WHICH IS WHY OUR HOME ON THE HIGHLAND BORDER IS KNOWN AS THE GLEN OF THE GEESE OR, IN GAELIC, GLEN GUIN. BUT OUR GUESTS HAVE INSPIRED MORE THAN JUST OUR WHISKY'S NAME. IN A WORLD THAT SEEMS TO SPIN FASTER EVERY DAY, WE'RE PROUD TO BE THE SLOWEST WHISKY DISTILLER IN SCOTLAND.

AND WHILE OUR METHODS MIGHT APPEAR MEANDERING, THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT. LIKE THOSE GEESE, WE'RE GUIDED BY AN UNWAVERING CLARITY OF PURPOSE AND THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETIMES THE RIGHT WAY IS THE LONG WAY.

IN THE STILLNESS OF OUR QUIET GLEN, WE KNOW THAT PATIENCE IS REWARDED. NOTHING IS RUSHED AND EVERY STAGE OF OUR WHISKY MAKING PROCESS IS GIVEN AS LONG AS IT NEEDS. UNIQUELY-SHAPED STILLS NURSE THE SIMMERING WASH DURING THE LONGEST DISTILLATION OF ANY SCOTTISH WHISKY, PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE COPPER COAXING SWEET AND FRUITY NOTES FROM THE GENTLY ROLLING VAPOURS. THAT'S WHY OUR BARLEY IS ONLY EVER DRIED BY AIR, ALLOWING THE TRUE GLENGOYNE SPIRIT TO SHINE THROUGH.

FROM HERE THE PRECIOUS SPIRIT IS TRANSFERRED TO CASKS MADE TO ORDER FROM EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN OAK, THEMSELVES PREPARED FOR SIX YEARS BEFORE THEY'RE READY TO CARRY OUR WHISKY TO MATURITY. THE NATURAL COLOUR OF THE WHISKY IS TESTAMENT TO DECADES WITHIN THE WOOD ALONE. NOTHING ELSE IS ADDED, THIS IS HOW WE CRAFT A WHISKY UNLIKE ANY OTHER. THIS IS THE GLENGOYNE WAY.

Glengoyne 10 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Fresh green apples, toffee and a hint of nuttiness. This is the taste of distilling slower than anyone else in Scotland, of barley we dry by air – never peat – and of hand-selected sherry casks crafted from European and American oak.

On the nose sweet, with toffee and popcorn aromas. Slightly nutty, with fresh green apples. To taste, green apples, grass, soft oak and a hint of sweet liquorice. Add a drop of water and discover notes of linseed oil and almonds.
