Glenury Royal Distillery

Glenury Royal Distillery was located in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, on the east coast of Scotland. Founded in 1825 by Captain Robert Barclay, a well-known athlete and MP, the distillery had a rich history spanning more than a century and a half. In 1835, Glenury was granted the privilege of adding "Royal" to its name, a rare honour bestowed by King William IV.

A specific feature of Glenury Royal was the use of water from the Cowie Water, which contributed to the unique character of their whiskies. Glenury Royal whiskies were known for their rich and complex flavour profiles, with notes of fruit, honey and spices. The distillery mainly used ex-bourbon casks for maturation, which ensured a balanced and deep flavour.

Despite its rich history, Glenury Royal was closed in 1985 and later demolished. Today, the remaining bottles are highly sought after by enthusiasts, collectors and investors because of their rarity and historical value. Glenury Royal remains a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky, remembered for the exceptional quality of its single malts.
