Product description

Glen Mhor Distillery, based in Inverness, produced whisky from 1892 to 1983. Its buildings stood on the Caledonian Canal, opposite the Glen Albyn distillery.
In 1972, DCL took over the plant and after 10 years, it stopped distilling there, and a few years later, it demolished the buildings. In the new century, Glen Mhor is one of the rarest whiskies offered, which adds to the brilliance of the Rare Malts edition . The whisky spent 22 years in bourbon and sherry casks and was bottled at cask strength (61% abv). 6,000 bottles were released.
