Glen Mhor Distillery

Glen Mhor Distillery was located on the banks of the Caledonian Canal in Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands. Founded in 1892 by John Birnie and John Mackinlay, Glen Mhor has a rich history that spans more than a century. The distillery was unique for its early adoption of innovations, such as the use of a then rare Saladin box for malting barley.

Glen Mhor whisky was known for its robust and complex flavour profile, often characterised by rich, malty notes and a subtle fruitiness. The distillery used water from nearby Loch Ness, which contributed to the whisky's distinctive flavour. Maturation took place mainly in ex-bourbon casks, which ensured a harmonious balance of flavours.

Despite its innovative approach and beloved whiskies, Glen Mhor was closed in 1983 and later demolished. Today, Glen Mhor's remaining bottles are highly sought after by enthusiasts, collectors and investors because of their rarity and the historical value they represent.
