Unlock the flavours of our award-winning whiskies as you taste 3 from the Glengoyne Collection. Discover what happens when you pair world-class Single Malt Whisky with the \u2018Best truffle in the World\u2019 from Iain Burnett, The Highland Chocolatier.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Craftsmanship takes time \u2014 of that, you\u2019ll find little argument. For Glengoyne Distillers, just north of Glasgow, patience is the price of excellence. Time invested and a process perfected over 180 years finds this distillery creating a portfolio of whiskies that warrants one to slow down and savour the deliciously concentrated fruit and rich flavours.<\/p>\n<p>That depth of complexity is primarily attributed to ageing in sherry casks, a practice that reaches back to the 1870s when the sherry business flourished in London. Oak sherry casks imported from Spain were readily available and affordable. What that sherry-matured oak did to enrich the colour, soften the texture and intensify the flavour of Glengoyne helped impress and attract a growing audience of admirers.<\/p>\n<p>These were high times for the Highland distillery, but then the sherry business dwindled in the UK and the price of the casks spiked. Glengoyne had to decide whether to stick with its signature style or alter course for the sake of the bottom line. Heritage won out.<\/p>\n<p>That tradition of sherry casking lives on and the distillery sources its oak from the forests of northern Spain, letting it dry naturally in the sun for three years. Casks are then filled with sherry in Jerez \u2014 a city in southern Spain&#8217;s Andalusia region \u2014 and left for up to another three years to absorb the fortified wine\u2019s flavours before they are ready to fill with whisky.<\/p>\n<p>Glengoyne\u2019s other distinguishing quality is its absence of peat. Many distilleries draw on peat both as a fuel and also for its smoky character, which infuses the whisky with a distinct flavour. For Glengoyne, the territory surrounding Dumgoyne has no peat in the soil, so that influence has never factored into its style. Using only air-dried barley means there is no masking of flavours behind a veil of smokiness.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Glengoyne emphasizes the importance of prolonging the distilling process to foster delicious complexity. As a reminder of that pride of patience, the motto \u201cUnhurried Since 1833\u201d adorns every label.<\/p>\n<p>With an excellent range available from the distillery\u2019s portfolio, including the 12 YO, 15 YO, 18 YO, 21 YO\u00a0 and Cask Strength, consider some time well spent in the company of whichever Glengoyne suits your sense of exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":236789,"parent":0,"template":"","eb_tags":[227],"eb_category":[132,134,143,133],"class_list":["post-236784","eb_listing","type-eb_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eb_tags-glasgow-the-west","eb_category-activities","eb_category-distillery-visit","eb_category-scottish-culture","eb_category-whisky-tasting"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>GLENGOYNE DISTILLERY TOUR &amp; TASTING - Rockstar Golf Scotland<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/rockstargolfscotland.com\/?eb_listing=glengoyne-distillery-tour-tasting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"GLENGOYNE DISTILLERY TOUR &amp; TASTING - Rockstar Golf Scotland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Our Distillery Ambassador will take you on the unhurried journey our spirit makes through the mashtun and washbacks to the swan-necks of our copper pot stills.
