I’m not a expert in Whisky, not even sure if I like it… But I AM in Scotland, so it’s time to find out!! Sooo… Where to start?
Let’s start at
the Glengoyne Distillery, founded in 1833. Its situated just 14
miles/22.5 km north of Glasgow, which is close to Stirling, Loch Lomond and the
Trossachs. Glengoyne is
unique in producing Highland single malt Whisky; unlike many other
distilleries, Glengoyne uses warm air to dry their barley instead of peat
smoke. Their stills are in the Highlands while the maturing casks of whisky
rest in the Lowlands.
They offer 7
different tours: 1. Glengoyne tour £7.00PP/45min.: You will get a dram
of Glengoyne 10 year old Highland Single Malt Whisky while overlooking the
waterfall and glen + watching a film, before being whisked off to Scotland’s
slowest whisky distillation. ;) (don’t know if that’s a good thing) 2. Wee tasting tour £9.00PP/60min: The same as tour 1; including a
additional tasting of the award winning Glengoyne 17 year old Highland Single
Malt Whisky. Sounds already much better! Two great drams instead of one!! ;).
3. Tasting tour £17.50PP/90min.: Includes the tour and the tasting of
Glengoyne 12, 17 and 21 year old Highland Single Malt Whiskies. 4. Teapot
Tipple Tour £25.00PP/90min.: A dram of 10 year old, the tour plus three
unique, un-chill filtered drams which are exclusively available at the
Glengoyne distillery only! 5. Master Blender Session £40.00PP/90min.:
That’s what we are talking about!!! CREATE YOUR OWN BLENDED WHISKY! +
everything from tour 2. Wee tasting tour.
The other two
tours. 6. The Master class £125.00PP/5H and 7. A century of Whisky
£150.00PP/2H are a bit out of our price ranges, but if you want more
information about those; feel welcome to visit the official website of
Glengoyne.
So, what will it
be!? Leave a comment with your preference and learn more in next time’s Whisky
post! I will proudly test the *Hiccup’s (Pardon me), Whisky tour for you!! ;)
Cheers, #Sophie.
