Quoting the exact words with which it defines their history, The Glenlivet Distillery sits in a wild and remote glen with its history laced with drama and intrigue. It's a tale of grit and graft - of seeing off smugglers, excisemen and copycats - of knowing the importance of home and putting it on the map.

In the early 19th century, the glen was a fairly lawless place where smugglers traded under cover in illicit bothies. The Glenlivet founder, George Smith, was a visionary during this time making a smooth and balanced single malt that was highly sought after by both criminals and royals alike.

Unafraid to break traditions, he made the bold decision to purchase a license and build the very first legal distillery in the Livet Valley.

In just a few days, we'll be celebrating Father's Day, a special occasion to honor those who fulfill that role with love and dedication. Soon it will be three years since my father passed away, the one who taught me, among many other things, to love whiskey.
I remember sitting beside him in the armchair, watching the liquid gold dance in his glass, releasing the sweet and delicate aromas that fascinated me since a young age.
Like a circle closing, this painting symbolizes for me that contemplation, that paternal image, and at the same time, the love of those of us who put our hearts into what we do.
Whiskey, art, fatherhood—legacies that remain in our spirits forever.

Inspired by photographs of the Glengoyne distillery 

In this painting, the third of four in homage to the Glengoyne distillery of Ian Macleod Distillers, I tried to reflect how the character of the malt is forged in the stills that, at each heart of the cut, shape the spirit that will later mature in casks, transforming it into the great Glengoyne whisky.
Nestled in a hidden valley at the foot of the Campsie Hills and crafting liquid gold since 1833, the Glengoyne distillery has mastered the rich processes of whisky making, reflected in the excellence of its malt.
For nearly two centuries, they have perfected the art of transforming grain into spirit, dedicating the time necessary to ensure that every drop of their whisky possesses the unique and distinctive Glengoyne style.

Glengoyne distillery is a whisky distillery continuously in operation since its founding in 1833 at Dumgoyne, north of Glasgow, Scotland. Glengoyne is unique in producing Highland single malt whisky matured in the Lowlands. Located upon the Highland Line, the division between the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland, Glengoyne’s stills are in the Highlands while maturing casks of whisky rest across the road in the Lowlands. In April 2003, Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd. acquired Glengoyne Distillery, the 'Glengoyne Single Malt' and 'Langs Blended Whisky' brands, with Leonard Russell as the managing director for Ian Macleod.

In their own words: “Rosebank’s growing recognition as one of the great whiskies ultimately inspired its resurrection as a distillery. Ian Macleod Distillers believed that a place capable of producing such delicious single malts should be rescued.”
After two years of hard work behind the scenes, Ian Macleod Distillers announced the rescue of Rosebank in 2017. It was a very special day for Scotch whisky and its hometown of Falkirk. And a pivotal moment for its new owners.
In the words of Managing Director Leonard Russell: “Reviving an iconic distillery and a quintessential Lowland single malt is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
