Cants Mill distillery

Highland single malt Scotch whisky

A farm-based distillery, Cants Mill (also spelled Cantsmill), once operated about two miles west of Kirriemuir in Angus. It stood on the Canty Burn that drains from Egnomoss westwards to the River Isla. Confusingly, Cants Mill was listed in records under ‘Montrose Collection’, although Montrose is 20 miles to the east.
