Glencarrick
A short-lived distillery in Kilmahoe parish, Dumfriesshire, that operated in the early 1830s.
Dumfries distillery
Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
It was located in Buccleugh Street, one of Dumfries's main arteries, on a site that is now council offices, according to current maps. It was some considerable way from the River Nith, but it may have sourced water from there via a long lade.
Alternatively, it may have obtained water from a long-culverted stream or a deep-sunk well. As always with long-gone distilleries, no information is to hand on buildings or stills.
Dumfries History
The distillery was licensed to William Hyslop from 1795-98. Then came a two-decade gap until it was re-opened in 1817 by James MacNeil, who was sequestrated in 1824. Finally, William Barry and Sons took over in 1825 but they lasted barely a year.
