Glenury Royal 1979 14 Years Single Malt Whisky

Glenury Royal Distillery was established in 1825 north of Stonehaven, Scotland. Only three Scottish distilleries are permitted to use the 'Royal' designation, which was granted to Glenury by King William IV in 1835. Glenury Royal was a Highland malt whisky distillery that operated from 1825, initially with just two stills, which increased to four in 1965. The distillery closed in 1985 and was demolished in 1993, though the square support base of its round brick chimney still bears a commemorative plaque. The site is now a private housing development on the outskirts of Stonehaven. Glenury Royal is considered a 'lost' Scottish Highland malt whisky distillery.
