Glenugie 30 years 1980 - 2011 Deoch an Doras

Glenugie Distillery

Glenugie Distillery was located in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, on the east coast of Scotland. Founded in 1831 by Donald McLeod, the distillery had an eventful history with several closures and ownership changes before it closed permanently in 1983. Glenugie was the easternmost distillery on the Scottish mainland, which gave it a unique position.

A specific feature of Glenugie was the use of local water from the nearby River Ugie, which contributed to the whiskies' distinctive flavour profile. Glenugie whiskies were known for their rich and complex flavour, with notes of fruit, honey and spices. The distillery mainly used ex-bourbon casks for maturation, which ensured a balanced and deep flavour.

Although Glenugie is no longer in production, the remaining bottles remain highly sought after by aficionados, collectors and investors because of their rarity and historical value. Glenugie remains a fascinating part of Scotch whisky history, remembered for the exceptional quality of its single malts.

Glenugie Distillery stood near Peterhead on the eastern coast of Aberdeenshire and was for many years Scotland’s most easterly distillery. Donald McLeod & Co built it in 1831 under the name Invernettie. After only a few years of production, the site was converted into a brewery in 1837. Scottish Highland Distillers restored whisky production in 1875 and introduced the Glenugie name. Several owners initially failed to make the business consistently profitable. Greater stability arrived under Simon Forbes, who took control around 1884 and carried out substantial improvements.

Following another lengthy closure, Seager Evans & Co acquired Glenugie in 1937 and restarted production. Through Schenley Industries, the distillery became closely associated with Long John, whose blend absorbed most of its malt whisky. Whitbread purchased Long John International in 1975 but closed Glenugie during the whisky crisis of 1983. The buildings and equipment were subsequently sold and largely dismantled. Its spirit safe and mash tun found a second life at Fettercairn, while tanks were transferred to Ben Nevis. Glenugie now survives mainly through scarce old bottlings.
