Glen Mhor's history is very much tied up with its neighbour Glen Albyn. It was established in Inverness in 1892 by John MacKinlay and John Birnie, a former distillery manager at Glen Albyn who had left in a fit of pique after being refused a share in the distillery by owners Gregory & Co.

A welcome Gordon & Macphail bottling of the little-seen Glen Mhor from the 1980 vintage. The distillery was demolished over twenty years ago, and the site is now home to a supermarket.
A single cask bottling of the obscure (and long-defunct) Glen Mhor, whose original site is now famously occupied by a supermarket after the distillery was demolished in the mid-1980s. Another of Signatory's enigmatic 'Wine Treated' barrels.
A 1965 vintage whisky from now closed Glen Mhor, a victim of the 1983 spate of distillery closures and now demolished. Bottled by Gordon & Macphail in 2005, this is about 40 years old.
A rare 1990s bottling of Glen Mhor 1979 bottled at full strength (a staggering 66.3%) by Gordon & Macphail. As Glen Mhor closed in 1983, most bottlings from this distillery are now considerably older and, it goes without saying, at a somewhat lower abv.
The Rare Malts are a now-discontinued series of cask-strength releases designed by Diageo to showcase some of the hidden treasures in their portfolio. This particular dram is all the more precious for having come from a distillery dismantled in 1986.
A 10 year old single malt from the rarely-seen Glen Mhor distillery, bottled for Italian bottlers Intertrade in the late 1980s by Gordon & Macphail at its full cask strength of 65.3%.
A rare 25 year old whisky from Glen Mhor by independent bottler Campbell & Clark. The distillery closed down in 1983 and has since been demolished, and there aren't all that many casks remaining.
A 10 year old whisky from Glen Mhor bottled by Intertrade a few years after the distillery closed. This has a hefty ABV of 65.3%, making us wonder what strength it went into the cask...
An interesting distillery bottling from Glen Mhor, formerly of Inverness and now closed and demolished. It's a 10 year old whisky presented in a bottle that looks alarmingly close to a modern Isle of Jura bottle...
A young bottling of Glen Mhor that we believe was bottled in the 1960s. A rare official release from the distillery, closed since 1983 and now demolished, and aged for just 6 years.
