About This Whisky

Hillside 1971 Rare Malts Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old release in the Rare Malt Selection series was laid to rest at the Hillside-Glenesk distillery in 1971 and bottled some 25 years later in September 1997 at a natural strength 62% ABV.

About Glenesk

Glenesk Distillery

In its time, this distillery in Montrose on the easy coast has been a malt and grain distillery. Established on the site of a former flax mill, it commenced life in 1897 as Highland Esk under the ownership of Dundee wine and spirit merchant James Isles.

With expansion of other grain distilleries and a need for malt whisky in the 1960s, the distillery was changed back into a malt plant in 1964. This obviously necessitated another name change, this time to Hillside. Four years later, a large drums maltings was built alongside which was then further expanded in 1973.

For some as yet inexplicable reason in 1980, its name was changed yet again – this time to Glenesk and it operated for a final five years before being closed, and then demolished for housing.
