Situated near the coastal Aberdeenshire town of Stonehaven, the Glenury distillery was established in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, the grandfather of powerwalking who once famously marched 1000 miles in 1000 hours for 1000 guineas. A celebrity of the time, Barclay’s influence helped him secure the distillery a highly prised Royal Warrant from King William IV.

By 1953 ownership of Glenury had passed to DCL, who oversaw production until 1985 when the distillery was mothballed and subsequently demolished: yet another victim of the whisky crash of the early eighties. However, following its demise, releases such as DCL’s iconic Rare Malts series have helped introduce Glenury’s elegant spirit to a new generation of single malt afficionados. With remaining stock dwindling, this rare whisky is now highly prized.

"Not enough space to describe the brilliance of this whisky" - Whisky Magazine #136 Scored 9.5/10

Lombard Tasting Notes - Nose indicates a big, big whisky. Deep and rich. Beautifully balanced. Palate has honey, cooked fruit, lychee syrup and a little cinnamon, a long and rummy coating finish. A very special whisky from a lost distillery.
