Glengoyne Wetlands – A Whisky Story Rooted in Nature

Glengoyne has always been rooted in nature. From malted barley and pure water to the land that sustains us, every drop of whisky begins with care. When year-round production challenged traditional practices, we found a beautifully simple solution: the Glengoyne Wetlands.

Twelve wetland chambers transform spent our spent lees into pure water that flows back to Loch Lomond, creating a thriving ecosystem of sedges, willows, dragonflies, bees, and birds.

Our commitment goes further. We support the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust at Caerlaverock, restoring hides in one of Scotland’s best places to see geese – a fitting tribute to our name, Valley of the Wild Geese. And through Plan Bee, two hives which are home to 80,000 bees grace our distillery grounds, boosting biodiversity and producing a few pots of honey along the way.

Our efforts have earned Green Tourism’s top award for three consecutive years, but more importantly, we’ve created a sanctuary for wildlife and a cleaner future for whisky-making.
