A BRAND NEW DISTILLERY EXPERIENCE FROM GLENGOYNE
From 1st September 2006, Glengoyne Distillery will be offering the most varied and comprehensive distillery experience ever.
Glengoyne will be the first distillery to let visitors get "inside the barrel' with two brand new tours - The Master Blender and Masterclass, both of which will offer visitors the chance to blend their own unique whisky.
Following a massive renovation, the quaint manager's house has been transformed into a stylish new venue offering a state-of-the-art Sample Room, impressive Club Room and re-furbished Board Room.
The first of its kind in Scotland, the Sample Room is spectacular in its design. Walls are lined with an array of sample bottles containing whiskies at different stages of maturation from Glengoyne's many hundreds of casks. Ideal for both whisky novices and aficionados, the Sample Room allows visitors to take their whisky knowledge to new levels and create their own unique blend of whisky that they can take home with them.
Visitors are invited to relax and drink in their surroundings in the newly refurbished Club Room. Decorated using hand printed furnishings from hip designers Timorous Beasties, it is a place for tour visitors to enjoy a dram and learn more about the award-winning malt.
For the first time the original 19th Century Lang Brothers Board Room is being made available for Meetings, offering facilities for up to 16 people - aimed at companies looking for an unusual venue for meetings or presentations that also offers team-building activities. Light refreshments will be available for meetings.
The Master Blender session costs £25 for a two-hour tour and includes a 45 minute blending session. The Masterclass is the most in-depth and comprehensive distillery tour offered in Scotland and costs £100 for a half day.
