September at the Club is all about Golden Promise barley, and Glengoyne are one of the very few distilleries to still use – and master – it.
Their whiskymakers swear by the weight and body it adds to their new make spirit, despite the extra costs and lower yield. We've sourced a small parcel of Glengoyne’s 18 Year Old for Members to bundle with September’s Whisky of the Month: Benromach’s 100% Golden Promise Barley Edition, showing two distilleries at the top of their game for quality of spirit and craft.
Slow distillation, thick spirit, almost two decades in majority first-fill Sherry casks, it’s rich and rounded, with plenty of warming spices and bright fruits.
This age statement beauty was available for Club Members to Add In beside their September 2026 Whisky of the Month for the special Club-price of $200 – that's $60 off the $260 RRP.

Glengoyne’s History
Nestled at the foot of the Campsie Fells, just north of Glasgow, Glengoyne has been making whisky since 1833. Originally known as Burnfoot Distillery, it operated during an era when illicit distilling was still widespread across Scotland before eventually becoming a fully licensed operation. Despite its Highland location, it actually sits right on the edge of the Lowlands.
Glengoyne has built its reputation around doing things slowly with stills that're among the slowest in Scotland, creating the rich, fruity spirit that's since become Glengoyne’s signature.
There’s no peat smoke here; Glengoyne dries its barley entirely with warm air, allowing the natural sweetness and fruitiness of the malt to shine through. The distillery is equally obsessive about its casks, with Sherry-seasoned oak playing a major role in many of its whiskies.
Most recently, Glengoyne wiped the floor with the competition at the latest International Spirits Challenge, beating out 98 other bottles to win the ‘Best Single Malt between 13 and 20 years old’ category trophy and picking up a Double Gold medal for its impressive 16 Year Old Japanese Mizunara Oak.
