Glengoyne Whisky Range.
Rare Old Whisky can now be a good investment
as the prices seem to keep going up. Some
people actually drink this Rare Expensive
Whisky, so fewer bottles are left, leading to
the price going up for remaining bottles. Many
are sold at Auctions.
The second image is of the Booking Office
for Tours at the entrance. Large Image of
the Distillery and Dumgoyne Hill.
The Shop is up between the buildings with a
range of Whisky, Gin, and Souvenirs.

Glengoyne Distillery History
1800s early - there were about 18 Illegal
Distilleries in this area producing Whisky they
were not paying Tax on.
1823 - an Excise Act cut the price of Tax on
Whisky, allowing many Distillers to become
legitimate businesses.
1833 - the Glengoyne Distillery was opened
by George Connell under the name Burnfoot
Distillery, producing Single Malt Whisky,
similar to what was being produced in the
Highlands and Speyside. It is unclear if
Glengoyne had been operating illegally before
1833.
