North Port Whisky - A lost heritage from Brechin
The North Port distillery, also known as Brechin, was a Scotch whisky distillery that operated in the town of Brechin in the Eastern Highlands from 1820 to 1983. Although it was one of Scotland's lesser-known distilleries, it produced remarkable single malts with a distinctive character characterised by a balanced blend of fruitiness and light smoke.
North Port used traditional production methods and local barley, which gave the whisky its typical malty sweetness. Most bottlings were matured in bourbon casks, which produced notes of fresh apple, honey and a delicate vanilla flavour. Occasionally, sherry casks were also used, which gave the distillate more depth and complex spicy flavours such as cinnamon and nuts.
Despite its quality craftsmanship, the distillery was closed in 1983 in the wake of the whisky crisis and later demolished. Today, original North Port whiskies are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors, with independent bottlings, particularly from Gordon & MacPhail, preserving the heritage of this distillery and allowing connoisseurs to experience the unique flavour of this lost Highland malt.
North Port may no longer exist, but its whisky remains a fascinating chapter in Scotland's whisky history - a silent witness to past craftsmanship whose flavours still impress today.
