Glengoyne Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located at Dumgoyne, near Killearn, on the Highland line north of Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 1833 and is currently owned by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. Glengoyne is unique among Scottish distilleries for straddling the geographic boundary between the Highlands and Lowlands: the stills stand on the Highland side of the road while the maturation warehouses sit directly across it in the Lowlands, and it is further distinguished by its use of unpeated malt, dried with warm air rather than peat smoke.
Distilling at the site is recorded from 1833, when it operated as the Burnfoot distillery under founder George Connell. The distillery took the name Glengoyne — from the Gaelic for "glen of the wild geese" — around the turn of the 20th century. In 1876 it passed to the Glasgow-based Lang Brothers, who ran it for close to a century. Ownership moved to the Robertson & Baxter Group in 1965, a company that later evolved into the Edrington Group. Between 1966 and 1967 the distillery was rebuilt and its still house expanded from two stills to three. In April 2003, independent family-owned firm Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd acquired Glengoyne, and continues to run it today, marketing it as one of its flagship single malt brands. The distillery draws its process water from the Glengoyne Burn, which flows off Dumgoyne Hill, and sits beside the West Highland Way, Scotland's best-known long-distance walking route.
Glengoyne's core range is built around unpeated, sherry-cask-influenced single malts and spans 10 Year Old (40% ABV), 12 Year Old (43% ABV), 15 Year Old (43% ABV), 18 Year Old (43% ABV), 21 Year Old (43% ABV) and 25 Year Old (46% ABV) expressions, alongside a cask-strength, non-age-statement bottling. Most of the range is matured in a mix of predominantly refill and first-fill sherry casks, giving the whiskies their characteristic rich, fruity style.
