Brechin 28 years 1977 - 2005 

North Port Distillery

North Port Distillery, also known as Brechin Distillery, was located in the town of Brechin in the Angus region. Founded in 1820 by the Townend Brothers, the distillery had a rich history spanning almost two centuries before closing permanently in 1983.

A specific feature of North Port was the use of local water from the nearby Esk River, which contributed to the unique character of their whiskies. North Port whiskies were known for their robust and complex flavour profiles, with notes of malt, spices and orchard fruit. The distillery used traditional copper pot stills and the whisky matured mainly in ex-bourbon casks, which ensured a balanced and deep flavour.

Despite the closure, North Port's remaining bottles are highly sought after by enthusiasts, collectors and investors because of their rarity and historical value. North Port remains a fascinating part of Scotch whisky history, remembered for the exceptional quality of its single malts. The distillery has since been demolished, but its legendary name lives on in the hearts of whisky lovers.
