This bottling of a 15-year-old Glengoyne was produced by the independent bottler Brühler Whiskyhaus as part of the A Dream of Scotland - Fairytale Series. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks, received a finish in ex-white port casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2022 in 276 bottles.
The distillery now called Glengoyne (roughly: Valley of the Wild Geese) is more than 200 years old, but it was only in 1833 that alcohol was legally produced under the name Burnfoot of Dumgoyne. The Lang brothers from Glasgow bought the distillery in 1876 and renamed it in 1905. Today it is owned by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. and is one of the few independent Scottish family-owned distilleries.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
