This was a Christmas (2019) present from our son. We had a great afternoon and felt perfectly safe with covid screens in place. We are delighted with our unique bottle of gin that we infused. Tastings and snacks were really nice and very well presented. Highly recommended day out. Don't delay - just go for it!

Often described as "Scotland's Most Beautiful Distillery", Glengoyne is open 7 days for a range of unique whisky tasting experiences. Just a short drive from Glasgow, Stirling and Loch Lomond, this traditional, hard working distillery has been flourishing since 1833. Glengoyne's range of in-depth distillery experiences includes the legendary Malt Master session where guests create their very own individual whisky to take home.

Midday on our first day of walking The West Highland Way, we came upon the Glengoyne Distillery and felt obliged to stop and take the "Best Whisky Tour in Scotland". Having not taken any other Whisky Tours in Scotland, I can't verify the superlative claim but I was very well plaeased with trhe tour and the included tasting. Not usually a Scotch drinker (my tastes usually prefer Bourbon) I was pleasantly surprised to see how well I enjoyed the very good taste of the Glengoyne Single Malt Whisky! I tasted the 12 year old Glengoyne, on the "Glengoyne Tour"but in retrospect, I wish that I had taken the "Wee Tasting Tour" which also included a tasting of the 18 year-old Glengoyne Old Highland Single Malt Whisky. The tour of the distillery was very informative and I learned a lot about the process and procedures. I would like to take the tour again if the opportunity presents.

Glasgow's first dedicated Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery in over 100 years. Visitor experience, Cafe, and Specialist Whisky Shop in the heart of Glasgow.

Ok, that sounds like a dating site, but the architecture, copper stills and views along the river are beautiful. The combination of local history of the site, development of the whisky industry along the River Clyde in Glasgow and the production process and tasting tips are all fascinating and the staff are clearly passionate about their subject and giving visitors a wonderful experience. Throw in a whisky-iced doughnut from the cafe or a flight of whiskies to taste, and a useful shop, and you’ve got a really pleasurable attraction.
