Wateresk distillery

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Grampian Mountains cover hundreds of square miles and are awash with streams, burns and rivers making the exact site of the Wateresk distillery impossible to locate. One faint clue is the suffix ‘Esk’, a possible connection to the North Esk River. The North Esk runs the length of Glen Esk before passing Edzell in Angus and joining other rivers to flow into the North Sea between Montrose and St Cyrus.
