Delve into the first chapter of the Legacy Series as we celebrate where it all began for Glengoyne’s renowned character. Discover the captivating story of Cochrane Cartwright – Glengoyne’s Distillery Manager from 1869 – the father of the Distillery’s unhurried spirit.
Chapter One in our Legacy Series pays homage to Cochrane Cartwright and his vision for Glengoyne. Not only did the 1869 Distillery Manager dramatically slow down distillation, but he famously first introduced sherry casks to Glengoyne.
As one of the key figures in shaping the Distillery’s unhurried nature, it’s only right that Cochrane is celebrated with a whisky crafted just the way he would’ve wished it to be…
