Glen Kirk owes its heritage to the "glens" (valleys) in the Highlands of Scotland. The Speyside region is famous for its world-class salmon fishing on the river Spey and its exceptional malt distilleries. The glens are also home to many Kirks. The word "Kirk" comes from Old Norse and Old English and means "Church".

Glen Kirk Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky draws on these historical associations to convey a sense of traditional Speyside heritage that is imbued with the very character of this fine single malt Scotch Whisky.
