product Details
Glenury Royal 1970 Cask Strength 40 Year Old
Glenury Royal is so-called due to its earliest proprietor, Captain James Barclay, being a close friend of King William IV. The distillery is one of many picked up by DCL (now Diageo) during an era of optimism in the mid-20th century, before being closed down in the early 1980s after a market downturn created an oversupply. Indeed, Glenury closed in 1985 and was subsequently demolished. As such, official bottlings are rare. Rarer still are those bottled under the Downie and Garron brand names.
This whisky was distilled in 1970 and aged for 40 years before being bottled at cask strength in 2011 as part of the annual Diageo Special Releases for the year.
One of 1,500 bottles.
