The distillery was build in 1896 and lies between Elgin and Rothes. It is silent since 1985 and now owned by United Distillers. So far, there are only independent bottlings.
The colour is golden, the nose sweet and got some smoke. The palate pretty light with a smoky dryness. The finish is refreshing and becoming drier.
The distillery was closed in 1982 and most of the equipment has since been dismantled. Glenugie used to be the most eastern scottish distillery. It had two stills and the water came from theWellington spring.
The colour is fullgolden, the nose, in my opinion, is very fruity-sweet and has only few smoky notes. The palate again is sweet and fruity. Grapes + Sherry? The finish is much drier and not so long.
This is the most northern distillery on the scottish mainland. The whisky is known to age very fast. There is an 8 and a 15yo version.
An amber colour and a very fresh nose. Like a sea-breeze. The palate is salty, round, little malty and licorice. It also reminds me of german gingerbread. The finish again reminds of the sea: salty, warm and long.
