WE GO AT OUR OWN PACE

World Whisky Day is approaching and we’re celebrating by inviting everyone to raise a dram and share their appreciation for the world of whisky, with an exclusive insight into our world of Glengoyne.

We want to celebrate what makes Glengoyne unique and flow differently from the rest. What we do, we do for a reason. It keeps us true to our past and true to our taste. We understand the true value of time and patience, coaxing our spirit through the slowest whisky stills in Scotland and filling it into casks that are six years in the making. The result is clear in the abundance of sweet, fruity, rich flavours in our whiskies.

Extravagant? Perhaps. But we’re not about to change our ways, so pick up a dram, sit back and watch your exclusive pemiere to our new video which will immerse you in the unhurried world of Glengoyne.

Sláinte!
