Isle Of Skye 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky 70cl Limited Edition

Glengoyne Scottish Whisky

was founded in 1833 by the Edmonstone family. Its original name was Burnfoot distillery. A local businessman called John MacLelland then took control in 1851 before handing the reigns to his son, Archibald, in 1867. Burnfoot remained in his control until 1876 when a company called Lang Brothers bought the distillery and renamed it as Glenguin.

In 1905, the name is changed to current Glengoyne, apparently after Glenguin was spelt incorrectly on a batch of labelling. Lang Brothers (see Langs Whisky) decided to keep the name as they felt it was easier to read and pronounce. Robertson & Baxter became the new owners of Glengoyne in 1965, after taking over Lang Brothers, and fully refurbished and expanded the distillery. Robertson & Baxter later changed their name and became the Edrington Group (owners of Famous Grouse, Macallan and Highland Park Whiskies). Edrington decided to sell Glengoyne to Ian Macleod Distillers, an independent family owned spirits company, in 2003.
