Proudly supporting Online Retailer of the Year
Glengoyne is renowned as Scotland's most beautiful Distillery, situated close to Loch Lomond, nestled into Dumgoyne Hill. Taking its name from 'Glen Guin' or 'Glen of the Wild Geese', Glengoyne has been producing exceptional single malt for nearly 200 years.
Uncompromising in its pursuit of excellence, Glengoyne runs its stills slower than any other distillery in order to create the fruity, unpeated spirit for which its whisky is known. Glengoyne's spirit is then matured in the finest oak casks within its traditional dunnage warehouses. To change one element of the Glengoyne Way, would be to alter the unique character of Glengoyne.

As an early adopter of the no and low category, we are particularly excited to be presenting this award this year. Over the last 4 years, our No & Low portfolio has grown exponentially and we feel brands such as Noughty, Belle & Co., La Gioiosa 0.0%, The Very Cautious One, Vallformosa 0.0% and of course Black Tower, offer fantastic growth opportunities to customers.
