Glengoyne celebrates surge in Easter visits
One of Scotland’s most beautiful distilleries, Glengoyne, enjoyed a massive upsurge in tourists over Easter, reporting the best visitor figures over the spring holiday in the distillery’s 175 year history.
Eager to learn about Glengoyne’s ‘Real Taste of Malt’, several hundred holidaymakers, the majority from England and northern Europe, visited the distillery during the Easter break – more than the last two years’ Easter weeks combined.
Stuart Hendry, Glengoyne’s Brand and Development Manager commented: “Over the last few months we’ve enjoyed an steady increase in visitors to Glengoyne, but the number of folk that came during the Easter week really took us by surprise, with several hundred curious holidaymakers enjoying tours, tastings and blending sessions. On Easter Sunday, staff arrived in the morning to find several dozen people waiting for them to open the distillery.”
Glengoyne is one of Scotland’s most accessible distilleries, located just 30 minutes north of Glasgow and looking out over the breath-taking West Highland Way.
Glengoyne Distillery offers an unrivalled visitor experience and wide menu of tours and tastings. One of the most popular tours, the Master Blender Session, even gives visitors the opportunity to have a go blending their own whisky to take home with the in the state-of -the-art Glengoyne Blending Room for just £30.
