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.

Swedish Band 'In Flames' Visits Glengoyne

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 Metal. The band was in Glasgow for the 'Unholy Alliance over Europe 2006' tour where they were performing at the SECC with Slayer, Lamb of God and Children of Bodom.

DID YOU KNOW...

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!"
