The Teapot DramUp until the early 1980s Glengoyne’s men were given three large drams of cask strength Glengoyne a day - breakfast, lunch and afternoon break. Once a week the Brewer, Ron Low, and the excise men would select the best first fill sherry cask they could find to become that week’s dram. However, if the younger men didn’t want one of their drams they would pour it into the old copper teapot that sat in the rest room. The more “seasoned” drinkers would then help themselves to additional drams from the teapot throughout the day - everyone was happy. The Teapot Dram was created to encapsulate those days, and consists of five first fill sherry casks between the ages of nine and 11 years old. The Teapot Dram is bottled at cask strength and exclusive to Glengoyne Distillery.
 ‘Art of Glengoyne’The second in the range of special collectible 10 Year Old 70cl tins is now available just in time for Christmas. The limited edition tin, featuring a bold and contemporary interpretation of our SLOW distillation has been designed this year by renowned artist and graduate of The Glasgow School of Art, Simon Laurie. Priced at the same price as our standard 10 Year Old at £31.49 (Or £26.77 with your exclusive 15% discount!) you can appreciate the artist’s unique vision of the magical process of malt whisky production as you sip your dram.
The Christmas Cask IICask 790 Distilled 2002, 2nd Bottling - December 2011 An unusually SLOW Single Cask release, selected by the Glengoyne Tasting Panel. The second in the series of five releases from Cask 790 will be released for sale in December. This bottling is an utterly unique insight into the life of a Single Malt Whisky cask. Each Christmas until 2014, Glengoyne will release 100 bottles from Cask 790, a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Butt distilled in 2002, allowing you to trace the flavour evolution in this remarkable, yet typical Glengoyne cask. Rich, with hints of rosehip syrup, cocoa beans, oak and spice, cask 790 still clings to the last of its spirited youth, but delivers plenty and promises much more. Each bottle will be numbered and signed by the Glengoyne Tasting Panel. This new bottling CAN ONLY be purchased by visiting the distillery. Limited availability. Bottling and release date to be announced.
Company Christmas GiftsThe ultimate company Christmas gift! - Bottles of Glengoyne branded with your company logo.
Speak to the Stars of GlengoyneThe well known characters from around the distillery including Head Stillman Duncan McNicoll and Engineer & Warehouseman Billy Edminston were chosen to star in a new series of Glengoyne films. The films present a fun and informative look into life at Glengoyne and range from a short two minute introduction to more in-depth films on distillation and maturation. Stuart Hendry said: “The feedback from viewers is hugely positive. They enjoy getting behind the scenes and meeting the people. Visitors take particular pleasure in speaking to the stars as they meet them around the distillery yard and autographs are available on request. Rumours that Billy is charging for his signature are probably true."
Plenty of Hands-On Whisky FunRecently to feature inside the Slainte Mhath shop is the new “bottle your own” facility, which allows visitors to fill their own bottle from the distillery cask. Once bottled visitors can then cork, crimp and complete their personal label. This exclusive and single American oak first fill hoggie offers great tropical notes and has no chill-filtration or dilution. This whisky is the closest you can get to drinking straight from the cask.
