Rare Auld Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distilled at
GLEN
ALBYN DISTILLERY
Glen Albyn was yet another casualty
of the early 1980’s cut backs in distilling – closing
for good in 1983 before its subsequent demolition. The distillery
had a very much stop start existence in its early years. The original
Glen Albyn is believed to have been founded on the site of the Muirtown
Brewery in 1846, however the distillery was destroyed 3 years later
by fire and production did not restart until 1852. The distillery
was in production for only a further 3 years when the then owners
went bankrupt and the distillery closed. A new Glen Albyn distillery
was built in 1884 by A. M. Gregory before subsequently coming under
the ownership of United Distillers who ultimately sealed the distilleries
fate.
