About the distillery

Glenesk (also known as Glen Esk, Hillside, Highland Esk, North Esk and Montrose) used to be a flax-spinning mill. However, at the end of the 19th century a huge whisky bubble was growing in Scotland. Entrepreneurs were building dozens of new whisky distilleries - or converting mills and other factories to distilleries.

Hillside / Glenesk was one of those distilleries. In 1897 the mill was converted into a malt whisky distillery by wine merchants Septimus Parsonage & Co. The name of the malt whisky distillery means 'valley of Esk' - or possibly 'valley of water'. That valley used to be home to four malt whisky distilleries; Glenesk itself, Glencadam, Lochside and North Port. 

The UK’s largest malt producer, Greencore Maltings Group, acquired Glenesk in 1997. Today bottlings are rare and appear under the variety of names the distillery has been entitled over the years.
