In celebration of the early days…
Chapter One in the Legacy Series pays homage to Cochrane Cartwright and his vision for Glengoyne. When he became distillery manager in 1869, he created the slowest stills in Scotland and famously first introduced sherry casks to Glengoyne.
Chapter One’s stunning flavour notes are all down to the heart matured in first fill European oak Oloroso sherry casks combined with Glengoyne’s prized refill casks. This spirit has developed a fruity, sweet quality – a hallmark characteristic of all Glengoyne whiskies, as influenced by Cochrane.
