[@fredhansen3340]

The distilleries are lucky to have you guys visiting! You show the brands, their whisky and history with the passion it deserves!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks Fred, really appreciate your kind words and the support of the channel! let us know if there are any brands/distilleries you'd like to see us visit next

@@koomer1459 thank you!

[@liamclarke8411]

Looks like you had great day there and would love to sit and chat to the staff over a few Drams bet they would have some good whisky stories to tell thanks for going there

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

they absolutely do Liam! Gordon Dundas was a gent and shared so much on this tour, but Gordon Dallas is a real storyteller and he joined us for the Uncut pod which was awesome. thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel pal, sláinte!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@liamclarke8411 I haven't had the pleasure of attending Budapest but I hear great things so we'll have to try and make it out there one of these years!

[@gms201]

Great tour of what looks like a fabulous distillery! And one who knows exactly how and what they want to achieve. So clear in their processes to know they could make more but it would be to the detriment of there spirit. Another great episode!! Hope there’s lots more like this to come.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for the support Greg, really appreciate you getting involved. and you can be sure that there's loads more coming - as I'm writing this we are currently on location in The Cotswolds and Ian is currently filming your next instalment of The Enthusiast Series! stay tuned my friend

Another wonderful close up tour! The Baron’s beard flowing stinking of sweet malt 😂

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks for tuning in Chaz, glad you enjoyed visiting Glengoyne with us!

[@bradleykelly7158]

Another great video mate. Some great expressions come out of this distillery the 21 is a personal favourite, interesting to hear they are only 1 million litres and would have thought that would have been more.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

they certainly stretch the million litres out very well! thanks for getting involved Bradley, great to hear our community are also enjoying this beautiful single malt

[@colinmcquade29]

Brilliant video guys well done , Glengoyne is a distillery i really must visit asap.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

you should grab that Teapot #10 in the meantime Colin - that'll have you racing up to the distillery!

[@shadowr6348]

What a lovely tour, and credit to the staff for their input. Whilst I still have some Glengoyne in my collection (heels), I now see it as one of my gateway whiskies in the sherry matured domain. Also something I am unlikely to buy anymore. It suffers from being at 43%, and whilst we applaud the natural color there is no mention of chill filtration. There are so many other sherried whiskies to choose from now that are affordable and comparative, that Glengoyne no longer stands out.....I am thinking of Glendronach, Glenallachie, Edradour and Aberlour. Ultimately I think the marketers at Glengoyne should consider 46% and the return to a 750ml bottle size. When out and about, say at a bar or restaurant, I would have no hesitation in ordering a Glengoyne and would be confident in it. But with so many high quality sherry matured whiskies available, I don't see me buying any for my home collection, but lovely to see the distillery......thanks for a great video, cheers Charlie

[@LeighW1973]

Great video. I've visited many distilleries over the last 15 years or so, Glengoyne was the first one I ever went to. Haven't been for a few years, must go back soon, it's a lovely place and the whisky's not bad either!

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

it's interesting how many people start at Glengoyne! glad to hear you're keen to go back - be sure to say hey from us! sláinte

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

thanks Guy, glad you enjoyed it! looking forward to sharing the latest Teapot Dram with you!

[@SteveW459]

Thanks Jake and team. An absolute cracking video of the whole Glengoyne distillery. With the two Gordons, it was Whisky Unscripted meets the Whisky Baron ! Great drams. 👍

Wonderful tour gents. I have to say, I was really impressed by their wall of progressive annual whisky’s. What an excellent way to demonstrate cask influence over time and the effects of time and angel share. Well done.

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Thanks Jan! their whisky wall is phenomenal isn't it - definitely a pit stop for your next Scottish escapade! sláinte

Jake at Glengoyne in the middle of October. Surely to pick up a Teapot. Dram of the year?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

it was a couple of months ago no so alas, I had to order mine online like everyone else! did you get one?

I wonder if you got a taster of the batch #10 Teapot Dram & if so would you purchase it for £140?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

we were lucky enough to try the Teapot Batch 10 during our visit on Uncut and it's spectacular. I've personally purchased two and I'm fairly sure Stevie and Ian also grabbed one each

[@adhominemsis-t.australisensis]

So which element has the greatest bearing on the colour of the liquid, the cask, or the previous fillings? I ask because Charlie Maclean's view is that the colour is only coming from the wood. But if that were the case, why doesn't the AO ex-Bourban casks impart a reddish Hue to the whiskies in the display?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

colour does only come from wood. American Oak generally matures Bourbon first and then Scotch, so the colour is a slightly lighter golden than that of a Bourbon. European Oak generally matures sherry/wine, so the colours provided are slightly lighter ruby hues. hope that makes sense - the great thing about Glengoyne is it's all natural colour!

[@adhominemsis-t.australisensis]

@TheWhiskyBaron maybe it's only wine that imparts the reddish colours. Only way to confirm is filling in virgin EO. At least from a colour perspective, it seems like the display suggests that extraction happens with time, I.e. longer in cask, darker the colour. But wouldn't that suggest it's just the wood that's imparting colour and not the colour of the previous liquid?

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis no, you'll get the red from sherry also - in fact I don't think Glengoyne use any wine casks. you will get colour from fresh oak and. you'll get more again from charred casks, but the red hues are either directly related to previous fillings or they're the result of colour being added

[@adhominemsis-t.australisensis]

@@TheWhiskyBaron by 'wine' I meant sherry as well. Sorry for the confusion.

@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis no stress - you're pretty spot on then!

Not gettting any nice vibes at all. Harsh, aggressive and acts like he owns the place. Not enjoyable at all. This video does not sell any Glengoyne..

[@TheWhiskyBaron]

Shame to hear you didn’t enjoy it - seems as though you thought the same about our Glenallachie tour, so I’m not sure why you’re putting yourself through the hardship of watching something you so clearly dislike. Out of interest, why do you think I’m aggressive?

Where on earth do you get the harsh and aggressiveness from?? If it’s not for you go find another channel to watch rather than leave a ridiculous comment.
