It’s time for tea!

Teapot Dram Batch No. 010 on sale now

We’re delighted to announce that Teapot Dram Batch No. 010 is now available to purchase on Glengoyne.com and at our Distillery shop.

This magnificent dram, inspired by a Glengoyne tradition, harks back to Glengoyne of old. A 59.4% ABV whisky that is rich with fruit, caramel and Christmas spice.

Historically, distillery workers throughout Scotland were given drams throughout the day. While most distilleries would give their workers new make spirit, hot off the line, the Glengoyne workers would be given aged sherry whisky straight from the cask; only the best for our drammers!

This release was crafted to replicate the whisky these drammers would have received on their shift, twice a day Monday to Thursday, and thrice on a Friday!

We hope you’ll love this release as much as we do.

Slàinte Mhaith,
Robbie Hughes, Distillery Manager

Smoke Point – Whisky Of The Month

The nights are drawing in and, here in Campbell River at least, it feels like we’ve had a years worth of rain in the last few weeks. The smell of woodsmoke hangs in the air, the wind has an extra edge to it and any extra warmth is to be treasured. With that in mind we thought this would be a good month to celebrate Smoke Point.  With subtle smoky, peaty notes and an underlying salinity that combines with its wonderful finish this is the perfect Fireside Dram.

For the month of November we’ve made our Smoke Point single malt an even more attractive proposition. This award winning single malt will be available at the distillery, and our online store, at $5 off. That combined with our free shipping on online sales over $140 makes this a great time to buy Smoke Point, and a great time of year to enjoy it too.

An Introduction to Sherry

To celebrate International Sherry Week, we are hosting a series of mini masterclasses to really get to grips with one of the world’s great wine styles, and one that has a long association with whisky.

Scotch whisky drinkers have fallen back in love with the sherry cask and the whiskies it can shape. The flavours in those drams can be traced back to the original sherries. Join us for one of the 45 minute masterclasses taking place on 9 November at our Great Portland Street store to taste across the different styles of Hidalgo sherry.

The lineup for these masterclasses will feature Hidalgo’s La Gitana Manzanilla, Palo Cortado Wellington VOS, Oloroso Faraon VORS and Triana Pedro Ximenez.

Nose: Creamy, with rice pudding and toasted vanilla. Rye and oat crackers. Sharp citrus bite — lemongrass, and lemon and lime sherbet — and a hint of Chablis-like minerality. Light notes of honey, underripe plum, and straw. Whole-milk latte.

Palate: Medium-full bodied, retaining that creaminess. Toasted vanilla pod, with roasted coffee notes and a hint of caramelised white chocolate. Cinnamon and vanilla sugar-dusted doughnut. Slight anise notes of clove and liquorice. Continuing citrus-sherbet tingle. Sweet and spicy grain notes run as an undercurrent.

Finish: Long, but gentle. Crisp green apple, honey, and rye cracker come through in the finish with a final twist of lemon peel.
