Glengoyne 40 Year Old showcases the distillery`s ethos, characterised by the slowest stills in Scotland, facilitating extensive copper contact. First released in 2009, this whisky was matured in hand-selected Sherry casks, resulting in a deep mahogany hue indicative of its age. The profile features discernible notes of Red Apples, Honey, Ginger, and Marzipan, accompanied by a velvety mouthfeel that maintains balance without introducing bitterness. Glengoyne Distillery, founded in 1833, lies in the Highlands, adjacent to the boundary of the Lowlands, allowing for a unique environmental influence. This limited outturn represents the distillery`s dedication to producing complex, fruit-forward whisky over decades.
Located adjacent to the Dumgoyne Hill near Loch Lomond, Glengoyne was originally known as Burnfoot distillery, then Glenguin in 1861 before being finally renamed Glengoyne in 1906. The area had long been known for illicit distilling among the farmers and blacksmiths who lived there, but it wasn't until 1833 that George Connell was granted a license to legally produce single malt whisky.
The spirit is known as being the slowest off the stills in Scotland, around four or five litres an hour. The results is a uniquely ester-driven single malt that contributes to a sweetness and a smoothness in the whisky. Maturation in ex-Sherry casks is preferred by the team at Glengoyne although a range of barrel finishes have been used over the years.
Glengoyne was voted 'Sustainable Distillery of the Year' in 2022 by readers of Whisky Magazine.
