North Port (silent)

(North-Port)

Also known and bottled as Brechin which is the city the distillery was located and the north port comes from a gate in the wall which surrounded the city. North Port was one of twenty one distilleries to close between 1983 and 1985 now demolished and the site of a supermarket. Fettercairn and Glencadam are the only remaining active malt whisky distilleries in the East Highland area. Whisky production at the North Port distillery was ceased during World War Two with the distillery buildings used to house Polish soldiers. Better luck will be had finding bottles under the North Port label with a trio of rare malt official bottles released by Diageo.
