The Glengoyne distillery is situated on the border of the Highlands and the Lowlands near Glasgow near the town of Aberfoyle. In 1833, one of the then 13 illegal distilleries was legalised. Initially called Burnfoot, it was renamed Glengoyne in 1905. The malt used by the distillery is dried with hot air. This, in combination with the slow distillation process, gives a whisky that is light in character. This whisky has matured for 15 years, mainly in Bourbon and first fill Sherry casks.
