Viewer's Comments about Glen Mhor
 The
Glen Mhor Distillery was founded in the late 1800s by John
Birnie and James Mackinlay of the Leith blending house. It
was located in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands along
with two other distilleries,
Glen Albyn and Millburn. All were owned by Distillers
Company Limited (DCL). Before Glen Mhor was acquired by DCL
in 1972, it had been part of a private limited company since
1906 with Johnnie Walker and Sons Ltd. taking a substantial
shareholding. In 1920, the company acquired Glen Alybn, a
direct competitor of Glen Mhor. From that point on, the distilleries
operated together as a team.
The Glen Mhor distillery stayed in operation until 1983, however,
due to low profits, DCL closed it down. Several years later
the distillery was demolished and a shopping centre was been
built upon the site.

Glen Mhor Single Malt Scotch whisky has been described
as smooth and medium bodied. It has a plesant, subtle sweetness
which is complemented by a dryish, heatery aftertaste. (Collins
Pocket Reference) Glen Mhor can still be found in independent
bottlers' collections. Such bottlings have become increasingly
rare and are much sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts.

The Glen Mhor Distillery, founded the late 1800s, became
the first distillery in 1954 to use Saladin Boxes (mechanical
process) to malt its barley. The distillery's water source
is the same as Glen Albyn - the famous Loch Ness.
