Oh, so exciting! Thanks for sharing this amazing trip! Hi from Ukraine. It's not easy to get these incredible Campbeltown whiskey brands here, but I have managed to get hold of Longrow 21 today, and I'm in heaven. I can only imagine what you have felt when testing the 32-year-old version!
Great interview! I’d love to visit Cotswolds Distillery. I really love the work they’re doing there. Very nice drams. I'm also curious to know where in Italy Rob worked (i’m italian 😂)
thanks for tuning in Simon, glad you enjoyed this one! definitely a must visit when you're next in the area. sláinte
Another gem of an episode plus Ian is dominating life in a quilted sweater 😉 & Rob rocking a “Baron’s” beard Definitely would be interested to try this brand… yet to see it in the states where I’m at unfortunately 😔
thanks Chaz, glad you enjoyed it! shame to hear their juice hasn't made it onto a shelf near you yet - hopefully that will change soon! keep your eyes open for them, lots of great things to come. sláinte
Ahh living on the otherside of the world I'd love to be able to visit these distilleries!! Maybe One day, until then these videos will need to do 🙂
I'm glad we can help you live vicariously through us John! hopefully we'll see you on this side of the pond one day soon!
Love the cotswolds, the sherry cask is fantastic
great shout!
The honest discussion about STR was brilliant. The benefit to a new distillery is obvious but I don’t know if I’d discount the concerns about STR as myth. I visited a Cotswolds shop a year ago and the tasting was fruity and pleasant but dominated by the STR character. Glad to hear they have a 7 year and some small batch diversity at the distillery. I’m sure the tourist demand is high, but look forward to increased variety and more mature Cotswolds in the future.
lots of exciting things to come out of this distillery for sure! thanks for getting involved Franz, we appreciate the support! sláinte
Great interview with Rob. So passionate about what they’re doing at the Cotswolds Distillery. Have to admit other than a few samples I haven’t tried much. Definitely going to look more into what they’re doing. Can’t wait to try some more. Some of those special releases they’re planning sounds very good!!
definitely worth spending some time with some friends and getting to know the lineup as they have some real gems here. thanks for tuning in and supporting as always! sláinte
@ Can’t wait for an all English episode. There’s some amazing drams being produced by the likes of The Lakes, Wire Works, Cotswolds, Spirit of Yorkshire and more. 🥃
@@gms201 we'll see what we can do for you!
I’m sure Jim Swan was a main character in the Filey Bay Distillery. They use STR also. I’ve tried Cotswold and it’s a decent dram. Also got a bottle of Filey Bay IPA whisky and that’s also a decent drink. Would be class to have a side by side taste event with just English whiskey.
you're spot on Sean. and an English heads up is definitely something we're working on, so stay tuned!
I visited the distillery a few months ago. Had a great time, lovely and passionate people. Also took home that hand filled ❤
nice choice! glad we're not the only ones enjoying it

Brilliant interview with Rob being super passionate and insightful as ever. Cotswolds are doing everything right and it is reflected in the bottles. Cheers.
thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel Jeff! what's your favourite expression from Cotswolds?
A great place to visit, highly recommended 👍
agreed! when was the last time you visited?
Jura single malt. Is my favourite.
what's that?
Love the tour videos!
that's great to hear - we've got lots more coming your way so stay tuned! sláinte
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!
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
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
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!

Excellent Gents. Lovely walk around a beautiful distillery. 👌
thanks Guy, glad you enjoyed it! looking forward to sharing the latest Teapot Dram with you!
I wonder if you got a taster of the batch #10 Teapot Dram & if so would you purchase it for £140?
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
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. 👍
great to see you know their podcast too! we were treated to a really special trip here so thanks for coming along for the ride with us Steve! sláinte pal

Great episode again. Thanks. Stopped at Glengoyne when on our way to Campbeltown last march. Really like their whiskies. Have the CS, 21 and Teapot at home. Pure quality to enjoy.
what a great pit stop! nice little selection for your shelves as well Tom, good man. thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel, sláinte!
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.
Thanks Jan! their whisky wall is phenomenal isn't it - definitely a pit stop for your next Scottish escapade! sláinte
Did the Master Blender's Tour there a number of years ago - excellent time. Wonderful setting. Friendly staff. Great traditions. :)
great to hear that you too have enjoyed this incredible whisky experience Richard! what's your favourite dram from Glengoyne?
@@TheWhiskyBaron I had a a wee sip of a 25 year old ... that was special!
@@richardagnew4959 seriously special! the 24 white oak is a really interesting comparison to that as well, I can highly recommend a heads up
Another wonderful close up tour! The Baron’s beard flowing stinking of sweet malt 😂
thanks for tuning in Chaz, glad you enjoyed visiting Glengoyne with us!
Been there. Great tour
you know it! what's your favourite expression of theirs?
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?
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!
@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?
@@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
@@TheWhiskyBaron by 'wine' I meant sherry as well. Sorry for the confusion.
@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis no stress - you're pretty spot on then!
Do these guys sparge? you didn't say. Great video mate thanks for the tour.
Love that room in Warehouse 1 with the Bottles illustrating the aging. Great visual aid !!
so cool isn't it John. we have another piece of content from Warehouse 1 coming soon and I despite having lived it first hand, I'm genuinely beyond excited to see it again myself. sláinte pal
Another top tier upload guys!
thanks JJ! can always rely on you for supporting our channels - sláinte my guy
got a 23 year old one....
very nice! single cask?
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.
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
Brilliant video guys well done , Glengoyne is a distillery i really must visit asap.
you should grab that Teapot #10 in the meantime Colin - that'll have you racing up to the distillery!
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.
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
The distilleries are lucky to have you guys visiting! You show the brands, their whisky and history with the passion it deserves!
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!
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
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..
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?
Proper weird you mate
Harsh and aggressive?? It's called confidence mate!
F..k off somewhere else if you don't like this!
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.
Hey, greets form Germany. Your Content is gorgeous as always. Keep it on. But pleas groom your beard it doesn't match your appearance, would suite you much more :).
Thanks PG, glad you’re enjoying the content! It does need a bit of a trim here - I’ve sorted it since but it’s still a long enough beard so maybe not your preferred style!
