Glen Mhor 12 Year Old Gordon and MacPhail 1990s - 40% 70cl

Glen Mhor was one of three distilleries based in Inverness along with Millburn and Glen Albyn, all of which closed within two years of each other.

Glen Mhor was one of the earlier, in 1983, and it was demolished just three years later. A historically significant malt, this was just a small two still operation, but was bottled both as a single malt in the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as making its way into high profile blends such as the one discovered in ice under Ernest Shackleton's hut.

The owners for the majority of its history were Charles Mackinlay & Co, who produced several official releases for the emerging Italian single malt market in the late 1960s, but this stopped when DCL took over 1972.

They licensed the brand to Gordon & MacPhail until its closure, and Diageo later included it in the Rare Malts Selection series, all of which remain rare and increasingly sought after.

Bottlings from independent labels like this are equally so.

This is a 12 year old bottling from Glen Mhor from Gordon & MacPhail. The modern use of the old labels the company used as the licensed bottlers for these distilleries has been known as their Distillery Labels range since 2018.

Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).

Nose: Grapefruit, baked apples, coconut water.

Palate: A delicious texture first and foremost with tropical fruit salad, then mint and touch of wood spice.

Finish: A long finish that begins with dolly mixture sweets and reveals fresh melon and lemon puff biscuits.
