Glenesk

Glenesk Malt Whisky

Glenesk began life as ‘Highland Esk’ distillery and was founded in Montrose in the Eastern Highlands in 1897 by the famous wine merchant Septimus Parsonage. The buildings were originally a converted flax mill and during its history the distillery frequently switched between malt and grain distillation.
