Glengyle was founded in 2000 to offer a new lease on life on the old distillery that had been founded in 1872 and closed since the fifties of last century. The first cask was filled in 2004. On the 21st…

This newest Bormore from the Italian bottler Wilson & Morgan was a gift from the nice people behind the W&M booth at the festival in Ghent. ‘We like what your write!’ they added. How nice! But that is…
