The Glengoyne distillery was founded in
1833 and was originally known as Burn
Foot or Glen Guin. It is located in the
Highland region but actually sits on the
symbolic border separating the Highlands
and the Lowlands. It was taken over by
the Lang Brothers in 1876 and it was
renamed the Glengoyne Distillery in 1905.
Since the 1960s the Lang Brothers has
been a subsidiary of Robertson &
Baxter. Robertson & Baxter which
ultimately became The Edrington Group.
The Edrington Group sold Glengoyne
distillery, a large quantity of whisky
stock and the Lang's whisky brand to Ian
Macleod Distillers in 2003. Ian Macleod
has marketed
Glengoyne more as a single malt in recent years
and has introduced a range of new
Glengoyne expressions.
About
a 30% of the malt produced is sold as
single malt the remainder going into
blends such as Lang Supreme and Lang
Select.
