"Glengoyne isn't just a product of the place, of course. It's also testimony to the skills and commitment of the people who have made it their life's work."

Ronnie is a local legend well known for distilling and horticulture. Glengoyne's wonderful annual flower display is entirely down to Ronnie's green fingers. He's been at Glengoyne for a quarter of a century and remembers the days when working practises were even more relaxed.

Distillery Story:
" I remember the days when we used to fill the casks with the new spirit from the stills and then have to roll them across the road to the warehouses where we would leave them to mature. When people who lived in the area were on their way back home from work they used to stop and help us roll the casks across the road to the warehouses. These very helpful souls knew that if they helped roll the casks they would then be invited to join us for the large end of shift dram!! It was the same with the delivery men and the postmen, they used to time it perfectly to arrive at Glengoyne just as we were about to have our morning dram and of course they would stay and have a whisky before getting on with their deliveries- I suppose that's what you call, Community Spirit!"
