Glen Mhor 1979 Rare Malts Selection

In 1920, Mackinlay & Birnie bought Glen Albyn and in 1972 it was acquired by The Distillery Company Ltd.

Unlike many others distilleries, it remained water-powered until the 1950s. It had Saladin maltings installed in 1954.

The distillery was closed in 1983 because of falling whisky demand. It was demolished in 1986
