Glengoyne Distillery which was established in 1833 is situated at Dumgoyne, on the south-western edge of the Scottish Highlands, close to Loch Lomond, and to the north of Glasgow. Geographically, the distillery a lies on the Highland line which divides the Highland and Lowland regions of malt whisky production. As a result of the mild climate and the soft water, the style of the Glengoyne Single Malts tends to be almost Lowland in character.
The style of this malt is enhanced by the fact that no pungent peat is used at any stage of the Glengoyne distillation process. The result is a pure, engaging single malt whisky in which all the delicate apple and barley flavours are allowed to express themselves. A clean and dry malt.
The unique and alluring nature of Single Cask releases means we cannot bring you the same delightful elixirs again and again – once the whisky is gone, it’s gone for good. The expressions live as a fragment of the past, never to be repeated.
We invite you to delve into our whisky archives. Explore past releases and bask in amber nostalgia, accompanied with distillery history and tasting notes from Mr. Hart himself.
Hart Brothers can trace their origins in the licensed trade back to the late 19th century when the family were licensed victuallers and publicans in Paisley, the mill town on the outskirts of Glasgow. It was not until 1964 that brothers Iain & Donald Hart incorporated the company as Wine & Spirit Wholesalers and Scotch Whisky Blenders.
Alistair Hart joined the company in 1975 and it was his responsibility as chief blender to source vintage casks of single malt whisky that were not readily available through any specialist whisky shop or online whisky site. Today, we continue to secure special and rare malt and grain whiskies that are further matured and only selected for single cask bottling after careful tasting and consideration.
We always pride ourselves on continuing the spirit of excellence by offering some of the finest single malt scotch whisky available through our selected distributors overseas.
We make sure our customers can best share with us the single malt scotch whisky experience which is why we add nothing to the malt whisky other than the purest water.
