About This Whisky

This Glenury Royal 23 Year Old 1971 Rare Malts version was produced for the French market, whose back label it carries. This is the famous edition that won Best Single Malt Whisky at the 1996 International Wine & Spirit Competition. Among the Rare Malts, this 1971 Glenury Royal had a strongly sherry-influenced style and was a revelation to many whisky fans who had yet to experience the distillery's delights, though sadly Glenury had already been closed for a decade before this edition hit the shelves.

About Glenury Royal

Glenury Royal Distillery

In 1825 Glenury Royal Distillery was founded by Captain James Barclay.
The Walking Captain’ retained ownership until 1858, when he sold it to William Ritchie whose descendants ran it until 1938. At this point, Joseph Hobbs bought it for Train & Macintyre, the UK arm of National Distillers of America. It was then run as part of T&Ms Associated Scottish Distilleries portfolio which used Glenury as its head office.
Not much whisky was made under its new owner. The distillery closed during World War Two and in 1953, NDA’s Scottish venture came to an end, just before the American market went into overdrive. In the mid 1960s, it was expanded and doubled in capacity, but was another which fell victim in whisky’s era horribilis of the early 1980s. The land was sold for housing and the distillery buildings were demolished. Then in 2003 Diego released a 50 year-old expression.
