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 casualty of the last whisky bust, Glen Mhor was closed in the 1980s and finally dismantled around a quarter of a century ago in 1986 and demolished in 1988, before the site was converted into a supermarket. With most of the distillery's output in its lifetime going straight into the blenders vats, only a small number of casks have survived and it seems likely that soon Glen Mhor's spirit will have disappeared for good.
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 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 bottling of Glen Mhor whisky from 1969. The distillery closed down in 1983. This bottling was limited to just 2265 bottles at the time of release, who knows how many of these are still around today.
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 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 25 year old whisky from long closed Glen Mhor, formerly situated by the Caledonian Canal in Inverness. This was distilled in 1963 and bottled in the late 1980s by Sestante, a few years after the distillery shut down.
A bottling of 1969 vintage Glen Mhor from Italian independent Sestante. This was aged for 15 years and was released shortly after the distillery closed.
A very rare early-teenage bottling by Sestante of the 1974 vintage from Glen Mhor, the now sadly defunct Speysider which may have contributed to its own downfall by having a name no-one knows how to pronounce (it's 'Glen Vorr', btw).
An old 1965 vintage whisky from Glen Mhor distillery. The Glen Mhor distillery was closed in 1983, approximately half way through this whisky's maturation. Bottled in 2001 at a grand 35 years old, this whisky has been released as one of Signatory's Silent Stills bottlings.
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.
A rare distillery bottling of Glen Mhor, who closed down in 1983 and have since disappeared due to the demolishing of the buildings. This was a standard 10 year old bottling released in the 1950s, when the distillery was at its height.
