Glenugie Distillery Highlands
The Glenugie distillery in Highlands was another unfortunate casualty of the whisky crisis of 1983-85, and fell in ’83, after 146 years of extremely sporadic production.
Glenugie seemed to be cursed with an inability to produce whisky for longer than a few years at a time: short flurries of activity were surrounded with extensive periods of silence. It also is rather unusual in that Glenugie never released an official bottlings of a Single Malt from the distillery itself, and instead was only acquirable through independent bottlings.
Despite this, Glenugie is often regarded as a sort of ‘hidden gem,’ the few remaining whiskies are highly sought-after and often quite expensive.
