Private Whisky Tour & Tasting

Distillery tour
2 x Drams

Overview

Nestled in a quiet glen, where time slows down and patience pays off, your stag group will experience whisky-making the Glengoyne way – a process that takes three times longer than most. Led by Glengoyne’s expert Distillery Ambassadors, the lads will embark on an unhurried journey through the heart of the distillery, following the spirit’s path from the mashtun and washbacks to the elegant swan-necks of the copper pot stills.

Inside the legendary No.1 Warehouse, they’ll uncover the secrets of how wood transforms whisky, deepening its colour and intensifying its flavour over the years. Then, it’s time for the best part – the tasting.

Kicking back in the comfort of Burnfoot Lodge, with views over the glen and its stunning waterfall, the group will savour two Glengoyne Highland Single Malt whiskies. A moment to raise a glass, soak in the surroundings, and toast to an unforgettable stag adventure.

Kick off the experience with a behind-the-scenes distillery tour, where Glengoyne’s expert Distillery Ambassadors will share the secrets of their signature ‘Glengoyne Way’ – a whisky-making process that refuses to be rushed. Then, it’s time to take things up a notch.

In the Sample Room, the groom and his crew will step into the shoes of a Malt Master, a role crucial to crafting Glengoyne’s signature single malt.

A splash from a bourbon cask here, a hint more sherry wood there – it’s all about getting that perfect balance.
