Christmas Food and Whisky Festival at
Glengoyne Distillery is Cancelled due to
bad weather
Please spread the word if you know
anyone who was intending to go. Thanks.
Glengoyne distillery has announced that
the second Glengoyne Christmas Food and
Whisky Festival will take place on
Saturday 4th December 2010. This
Christmas event with local, like-minded
food and drink partners will showcase
the best SLOW produce from the area at
the home of the SLOWEST distilled Scotch
whisky.
Open from 10.30am – 4.30pm it will be a
fun day aimed at all ages. In addition
to food stalls there will be a range of
unusual gift ideas and plenty of
activities for all the family.
Distillery tours and tastings will be on
offer as well as wonderful food from
renowned local chef, Tom Lewis of
Monachyle Mhor and his team at Mhorfish
and Mhorbread. Glasgow’s Delizique and
local favourites Ednmill Farm Shop will
be among a host of other names. For the
children there will be story-telling,
face painting and of course Santa’s Log
Cabin – by the foot of the distillery
waterfall at the end of a magical glen.
Building on the success of the 2008
event, Glengoyne have added a number of
new initiatives, including a much wider
range of food for consumption on the
day, additional food and gift stalls, a
farmers market, in-depth, one-off super-tastings
to showcase the rarest and finest
Glengoyne whisky, wandering minstrels,
free wine, curry and Mhor master
classes, additional heated areas, indoor
parking, cooper racing (barrels, not
cars) and, of course, a random fire
engine.
Stuart Hendry, Brand and Development
Manager for Glengoyne commented: "We’ve
made a number of improvements this year,
but been careful not to lose the unique
atmosphere in the distillery courtyard
which brought that elusive feeling of
Christmas’s past. There was something
magical about the last festival and it
is important to keep hold of that."
"This year’s Festival will also see the
launch of very special micro-release
which will give whisky fans a unique
insight into the maturation process.
This ground breaking approach will
appeal to whisky collectors and
consumers alike. Further details to
follow mid November."
"Glengoyne award-winning Single Malts
are made without cutting corners,
resulting in a uniquely smooth whisky,
which is distilled at a slower rate than
any other. We are proud of our ‘slow’
credentials and have been working with
local producers such as Tom Lewis at
Monachlye Mhor to celebrate these values
as well as creating strong and growing
links to local food producers and
enthusiasts."
Glengoyne Distillery, which offers an
unrivalled visitor experience, is
situated just 30 minutes outside
Glasgow, looking out over the
breath-taking West Highland Way. The
event is open to all ages.
The Glengoyne Christmas Food and Whisky
Festival should be a fun day with

drink partners, showcasing the best
