Tasting notes
Glenury Royal is one of Scotland’s lost distilleries. Founded in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, the Highland distillery was granted permission to use the “Royal” suffix in 1835 thanks to the Member of Parliament’s status and close ties with King William IV. After weathering various whisky booms and busts, the Aberdeenshire distillery closed its doors for the final time in 1983. This 50-year-old bottling from Diageo’s Casks of Distinction series is one of the rarest Glenury Royal single malts in existence.
About the producer
Highland whisky distillery Glenury Royal has a rather ill-fated history. Severe fire, a distillery worker death in a boiler-incident and ultimate closure in 1985. Despite all this, the Glenury Royal name has survived, and very aged bottlings are increasingly scarce and collectable.
