Glengoyne

Glengoyne Distillery was established as Burnfoot of Drumgoyne Distillery in 1833 by George Connel in Scotland’s Highland whisky region although its warehouses rest across the road in the Lowland whisky region. All the malt is dried by hot air and so all Glengoyne whisky is unpeated and on site maturation is in sherry and bourbon casks in addition to some Japanese and Scottish oak casks. Glengoyne Distillery has a visitor centre and offers distillery tours.

NOSE: Rich apples, juicy pears, fresh cream soda and hints of pear drops.
PALATE: Sugary sweet with slight oaked spice, ginger and a fresh barley nose.
FINISH: Long, with darker fruits, hints of cocoa and a warm orange peel.
