The morning begins in Glasgow, where streets of sandstone and glass lift your eyes from the city into the rolling green beyond. A private vehicle threads onto the A809, and within an hour the torque of distillation replaces urban hum—the slow stills at Glengoyne set the pace for the day. Tasting notes and peat-smoke hang in the air as the driver guides you toward Loch Lomond’s glassy surface.
