Glen Mhor (silent) Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Single Cask #72 Whisky 40 Year Old · 1982 Vintage
In stock
Built in 1892, Glen Mhor Distillery (pronounced ‘glen vwar’) was, both in ownership and physical location, the sister distillery to Glen Albyn. The Inverness distillery was the first distillery to experiment with Saladin boxes – a mechanical malting device widely used until the 1960s when distilleries started to outsource malted barley more and more – and continued to use these until the maltings was closed in 1980. A popular single malt, Glen Mhor found low-key fame as a bottling in its own right, quite an accomplishment considering the market was dominated by blends.
Unfortunately for its loyal consumers, the distillery was closed in 1983 and demolished three years later.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with burnished copper tones and a subtle ruby edge in the glass.
Nose
Rich sherry influence with toasted hazelnuts and subtle milk chocolate; Morello cherry notes unfold alongside sweet treacle toffee.
Palate
Intense stewed fruit carries into pressed apple and demerara sugar, while raspberry compote mingles with soft white pepper and a whisper of dried tobacco.
Finish
Generous and lingering, with bright citrus unfolding over sun-warmed summer fruit, followed by a delicate orchard sweetness and a whisper of spice that lingers with refined oak.
