Glen Esk 28 years 1983 - 2012 #4929

Glenesk Distillery

Glenesk Distillery, originally known as Highland Esk, is located in the Angus region, near the town of Montrose in Scotland. Founded in 1897 by Septimus Parsonage as a brewery, it was converted into a distillery in 1899. Throughout its history, the distillery has had different names and owners, including North Esk and Montrose.

In the 1960s, the distillery was significantly modernised and the name was changed to Glenesk. Glenesk whiskies were known for their smooth and complex character, with notes of fruit, flowers and a subtle spiciness.

Despite its rich history, Glenesk was closed in 1985 and later demolished. Today, Glenesk's remaining bottles are highly sought after by aficionados, collectors and investors because of their rarity and historical value. Glenesk remains a fascinating part of Scotch whisky history, remembered for the unique and refined whiskies it produced.

Blackadder

Blackadder is an independent bottler of whisky, founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek. The company is known for its pure approach to bottling whisky, emphasising the preservation of the whisky's natural flavour and quality. Blackadder has earned a special reputation in the whisky world, especially for their signature ‘Raw Cask’ bottlings.

Raw Cask Series

Blackadder's most famous and unique series is the ‘Raw Cask’ series. In these bottlings, the whisky remains completely natural, and there may even be small particles of wood or charcoal present in the bottle, from the cask in which the whisky was matured. This is one of the features that make Blackadder unique, and it reflects the company's commitment to preserving the whisky's original state.
