Glengoyne whisky

Glengoyne is an unpeated Highland single malt made just north of Glasgow by Ian Macleod Distillers, known for sherry-cask maturation. This page lists the Glengoyne bottles in stock at the UK retailers we check with the lowest current price, including the 10 Year Old, White Oak, the 15 and 21 Year Old and the 24 Year Old White Oak, plus independent bottlings.

Unpeated malt, slow distillation and sherry casks are the house style, and Glengoyne has never coloured its whisky. The White Oak range, launched in 2024, uses first-fill bourbon and virgin oak instead. Prices for the same bottle vary between shops and can sit below the distillery’s own shop.

The distillery was licensed in 1833 as Burnfoot, renamed Glenguin in 1876 and Glengoyne from 1905; Whiskipedia’s Glengoyne page has more. Prices are the best current in-stock offer from the UK retailers we check (how we compare prices).

19 full-size bottles (50cl to 1 litre) in stock, plus 1 smaller bottle under 50cl, with the best current price from the UK retailers we check.

Before comparing a hammer price with a shop price, add the fees: buying whisky at auction vs retail works through them. Auction medians for many brands have fallen since their 2021 and 2022 peaks, as what 1.6 million auction lots show about whisky prices sets out.

Is Glengoyne a Highland or Speyside whisky?
Highland. Glengoyne is just north of Glasgow, far from Speyside, and its whisky is distilled in the Highland region as defined by the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009. The distillery sits right at the Highland boundary. Whiskipedia notes that its newer warehouses across the road are technically in the Lowlands; see its Glengoyne page.
Is Glengoyne peated?
No. Glengoyne makes its single malt from unpeated malt, and the distillery is known for slow distillation and for maturing much of its spirit in sherry casks sourced through long-standing links with bodegas in Jerez. The White Oak range launched in 2024 uses first-fill bourbon and virgin oak instead. See unpeated whisky.
