Glen Albyn Distillery, Speyside
Located to the north of Inverness, the Glen Albyn Distillery was founded
in 1846 by the Provost (Mayor) of Inverness, James Sutherland. 3 years after
its creation. Albyn is an old name for Albion or Alba, used to denote
"Scotland" and particularly "the Highlands".
The distillery was rebuild in 1884, after a fire destroyed the distillery in 1849, it was later acquired by DCL (Distillers Company Limited) and Scottish Malt Distillers until its closure in 1983. Sadly, the demolition of the distillery, along with the neighbouring Glen Mhor distillery, followed in 1986 to make way for residential development.
The house style is delicately fruity, nutty, and dry.
