Glen Albyn – 1975 Gordon & MacPhail (70cl, 46%)

Glen Albyn – 1975 Gordon & MacPhail is a whisky from Glen Albyn (Highland). Bottled at 46% ABV, 70cl. This distillery once boasted its own railway line which was linked to the main Highland Railway Company line. At one point the distillery was converted into a flour mill and when distillation returned to the premises it was with stills that were, “the most improved and modern style” according to Alfred Barnard. Unfortunately, the distillery was another victim of the 1983 cull. This was the last whisky production in Inverness until the creation of the new Uile Bheist Distiller on the banks of the river Ness. The result of the mutual support and friendship with some of Scotland’s single malt producers means that Gordon & MacPhail has traditionally matured and bottled whisky from a collection of distilleries, releasing them with a ‘house’ label, unique to each distillery.From the Orkney distillery of Scapa, through to Speyside classics such as Strathisla, Longmorn, and Glen Grant, the ‘Distillery Labels’ series showcases individual producers with whom Gordon & MacPhail have been working with, sometimes for over a century.
