A company by the name Stanley P Morrison Ltd (SPM) acquired the distillery and resumed production almost immediately after purchasing it.

The Suntory Group from Japan took over SPM in 1984 and according to some whisky experts, like Charles Maclean, the character of the whisky produced under the new ownership is markedly different to the one produced before the take over.

A local landlord acquired a license to distil alcohol on that site in 1833. Some historical evidence suggests that illegal distillation took place all over Dumgoyne since at least the late 18th century. When the distillery opened it was called 'Burnfoot'. It was operated by the founding family until 1850.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new owners sold it to Glasgow based blenders Lang Bros.

The distillery continued producing spirit and marketed it as 'the un-peated' malt. In 2003 the distillery was taken over by the 10th largest distilling group in the world: Ian Macleod distillers. Sales of Glengoyne increased massively as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA medium-long fermentation period of over 50 hours and a slow distillation yields a fruity, delicate and elegant spirit. The spirit has enough weight to withstand long maturation periods in ex-sherry casks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hunter Laing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56637278093687,"sku":"P5482S","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2403\/2357\/files\/HunterLaingGlengoyne16OMC.jpg?v=1770220084"}],"url":"https:\/\/jeffreyst.com\/collections\/hunter-laing.oembed","provider":"Jeffrey st.
