History
Glengoyne Distillery, located on the border between the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, has been producing whisky since 1833. The distillery is unique in that it distills its whisky in the Highlands but matures it in the Lowlands, taking advantage of the distinct climates of both regions.

Glengoyne is known for its slow distillation process and its commitment to using air-dried barley, never peat, which results in a whisky that is free from smoky flavors2. The distillery also uses Golden Promise barley, a high-quality but low-yield variety that contributes to the whisky’s rich and complex character.

The 12 Year Old expression is celebrated for its balance and depth, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts.
