Glengoyne Launches Repackaged Core Range

Glengoyne officially launched their newly repackaged 10 and 17 Year Old whiskies last month.
The new presentation perfectly captures the key values at the heart of Glengoyne: pride in their distillery and a commitment to
producing exceptional whisky. The introduction of detailed tasting notes on both the bottle and tube, written by the very men
who make the whisky, bring the malts to life.

At the beginning of last month, Swedish death metal band 'In Flames' visited Glengoyne for a tour and whisky tasting. In Flames
is a Melodic Death/Heavy Metal band from the city of Gothenburg in Sweden, hence why they are widely referred to as Gothenburg

Did you know? ... Last month Billy Edmiston, Glengoyne Fitter and Warehouseman, celebrated his 30th year working at the distillery.
Billy started working at Glengoyne on 15th November 1976 and has spent the last 30 years maintaining the distillery plant and equipment.
Without him there would simply be no whisky making. Prior to working at Glengoyne Billy led a varied life, with jobs including
lorry driver, car salesman and horse trader.
Robbie Hughes, Distillery Manager, presented Billy with a personalised bottle of 29 year old Family Reserve in a presentation
Spirit safe as a 'thank you' for all Billy's hard work over the last 30 years. Billy describes Glengoyne as "a great place to
work. Both the people and the place are fantastic. I can't believe I've been here for 30 years, time certainly flies when
you're having fun!"
