GLENGOYNE CHRISTMAS FOOD & WHISKY FESTIVAL

The second GLENGOYNE CHRISTMAS FOOD & WHISKY FESTIVALdue to take place on SATURDAY 4th DECEMBER 2010 has been cancelled due to bad weather conditions.

Stuart Hendry, Brand and Development Manager for Glengoyne said: “Unfortunately we have had to cancel our 2010 Food and Whisky Festival due to access and safety concerns arising from the bad weather conditions. Suppliers and stall holders are currently unable to reach the distillery and we are anticipating that the conditions will not improve sufficiently before the weekend. Safety of our visitors is paramount and, regrettably, the only option is to cancel the event.”

“The distillery team are extremely disappointed not to be able to go ahead with what has proven in the past to be a hugely popular event, for local people and those further afield. A lot of work had gone into organising the event and we are sad to be missing an opportunity to showcase the great range of like-minded local suppliers of food, drink and crafts and create that magical Christmas atmosphere.”

Despite the addition of extra heated areas and indoor parking the conditions around the distillery and car park have been judged as not practical to host large crowds. It is hoped the event will take place again in December 2011.

Glengoyne 21 Years Old Wins Gold at Scottish Field Whisky Challenge

November 25, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Alan Wardrop collects the Gold Award for Glengoyne 21 Years Old.

Glengoyne 21 Years Old has scooped a prestigious gold award at the highly respected Scottish Field Whisky Challenge for the third year in a row underlining its consistent, exceptional quality.

The panel of expert judges, which include Richard Joynson of Loch Fyne Whiskies, Keir Sword of Royal Mile Whiskies and Darren Leitch, of The Whisky Shop group, rated Glengoyne 21 Years Old in the £30 – £75 category for its “Well balanced palate and pleasant finish”. Judge Tatsuya Minagawa, Whisky Bar Manager at the Highland Inn, commented that the whisky had a “Soft warm and creamy nose with a good level of sherry and weak coffee. Creamy to taste with a delicious and complex finish.”

Launched in 2001, the Scottish Field Whisky Challenge is a ‘blind’ tasting of Scotch whiskies and universally acknowledged as one of the most significant taste tests with an esteemed panel of judges.

Alan Wardrop, UK Sales Manager for Ian Macleod Distiller’s, commented: “It is a real honour to be so highly commended by a team of such well respected judges. It really is testimony to Glengoyne’s craftsmanship and heritage passed down over the generations, including the slowest distillation process of any Scotch whisky, that makes our whisky stand out.”

Glengoyne 21 Years Old Wins Gold at Scottish Field Whisky Challenge

Glengoyne fought off stiff competition from Big Peat, Strathisla 30 Years Old and Glen Grant 25 Years Old to take the Gold Award with a score of 3.83 out of 5.

Richard Bath, Editor of Scottish Field said of the competition: “This is the 10th year of the Scottish Field Whisky Challenge and a landmark moment for us. The reason for the awards success has been its unimpeachable credibility.

“Any whisky that appears in these pages is guaranteed to be a gold standard dram.”

Glengoyne Christmas Food and Whisky Festival

October 29, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glengoyne Christmas Food and Whisky Festival

Glengoyne, Scotland’s most beautiful distillery, is pleased to announce that the second GLENGOYNE CHRISTMAS FOOD & WHISKY FESTIVAL will take place on SATURDAY 4th DECEMBER 2010. This Christmas event with local, like-minded food and drink partners will showcase the best SLOW produce from the area at the home of the SLOWEST distilled Scotch whisky.

Open from 10.30am – 4.30pm it will be a fun day aimed at all ages. In addition to food stalls there will be a range of unusual gift ideas and plenty of activities for all the family.

Distillery tours of Glengoyne and, of course, tastings will also be on offer. For the children there will be story-telling, face painting and not forgetting Santa’s Log Cabin – by the foot of the distillery waterfall at the end of a magical glen.

Building on the success of the 2008 event. Glengoyne have built on their previous success and now include one-off super-tastings to showcase the rarest and finest Glengoyne whisky, wandering minstrels, free wine, curry and MHOR master classes, additional heated areas, indoor parking, cooper racing (barrels, not cars) and, of course, a random fire engine.

Stuart Hendry of Glengoyne distillery said: “We’ve made a number of improvements this year, but been careful not to lose the unique atmosphere in the distillery courtyard which brought that elusive feeling of Christmas’s past. There was something magical about the last festival and it is important to keep hold of that.

“This year’s Festival will also see the launch of very special micro-release which will give whisky fans a unique insight into the maturation process. This ground breaking approach will appeal to whisky collectors and consumers alike. Further details to follow mid November.

“Glengoyne award-winning Single Malts are made without cutting corners, resulting in a uniquely smooth whisky, which is distilled at a slower rate than any other. We are proud of our ‘slow’ credentials and have been working with local producers such as Tom Lewis at Monachlye Mhor to celebrate these values as well as creating strong and growing links to local food producers and enthusiasts.”

Glengoyne Distillery, which offers an unrivalled visitor experience, is situated just 30 minutes outside Glasgow, looking out over the breath-taking West Highland Way.

The event is open to all ages.

Glengoyne Still Going SLOW – And that’s official!

September 22, 2010 by Gary Leave a Comment

Glengoyne Still Going SLOW

Following a recent 25% increase in case sales Glengoyne has announced a new long-term marketing initiative based on the concept “SLOW”, and is to invest upwards of £1m in the campaign drive over the next two years.

The campaign is centred on Glengoyne’s distillation speed, which is SLOWER than any other Scotch Whisky. Glengoyne attributes its high quality, smooth tasting malt to its slow distillation, which is about one third the normal rate.

SLOWLY distilling the spirit allows more contact with the copper stills, removing unwanted sulphur which can result in bitterness and encouraging the formation of esters creating Glengoyne’s distinctive apple fruitiness. The increased copper interaction also helps draw more flavour from the slowly handcrafted Spanish Sherry oak casks during maturation.

The campaign is supported by Glengoyne’s Ten Slow Truths, a set of facts that are central to life at the distillery and clearly set out why only the SLOWEST distillation process, untainted by peat smoke creates Glengoyne – The Real Taste of Malt. The Slow Truths contain facts about Glengoyne’s distillation and maturation processes, as well as insights into life at ‘Scotland’s most beautiful distillery’.
The Slow Truths have been handed down over the generations at Glengoyne, and the wisdom imparted to every visitor. By sharing the Slow Truths Glengoyne is encouraging drinkers to adopt a slower lifestyle, helping them to slow down, take things easy and spend time appreciating the finer things.

Iain Weir, Marketing Director for Ian Macleod Distillers said: “The Slow philosophy has worked well for Glengoyne for over 175 years, as great recent sales figures show. We have mastered the art of producing the Real Taste of Malt, using methods handed down over the generations, including the slowest distillation process of any Scotch whisky distillery. Slow is about taking the time to do everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible, quality rather than quantity is at the heart of everything the distillery does.

“Our creative teams have been working hard on effective communication of this important message, to both current and potential Glengoyne drinkers. There are still many exciting stages of the campaign to be revealed.”

Only the slowest distillation process, untainted by peat smoke, creates Glengoyne THE REAL TASTE OF MALT.

Glengoyne – The Slow Truths

1. Glengoyne has the SLOWEST distillation process of any Scotch Whisky. The spirit trickles from our stills at about one third the normal rate. This spirit creates the highest quality and smoothest tasting Single Malt Whisky – The Real Taste of Malt.

2. Our barley SLOWLY germinates on the malting floor before being air-dried, rather than dried using peat smoke. The result is a rich, complex whisky in which all of the flavours are allowed to fully express themselves without being masked by smoke.

3. We nurse the spirit through the stills SLOWLY, simmering it to ensure it spends more time in contact with copper. This removes unwanted sulphur, which can result in bitterness.

4. SLOW distillation encourages the formation of esters, bringing sweet, fresh vibrant notes to the spirit.

5. Our spirit is collected so SLOWLY that Duncan our Stillman sometimes just drifts off.

6. We take our time over every aspect of our process. SLOW creates quality, not quantity and is at the heart of everything we do.

7. SLOWLY distilled spirit is rich in copper, which interacts with oak to draw more flavour from the cask during maturation.

8. Our oak casks are also prepared SLOWLY. They spend two years drying in the Spanish sun and over two years absorbing Oloroso Sherry, before they are filled with Glengoyne, the world’s SLOWEST distilled Scotch whisky.

9. Nothing is ever rushed at Glengoyne. Once filled, our casks are SLOWLY rolled into place to begin their long sleep.

10. The best way to appreciate the quality of Glengoyne is to drink it SLOWLY. Sit back, relax and savour the subtle flavours. Glengoyne should never be rushed. Always drink responsibly.
