Bottle Details

Glen Albyn 1978 Hart Brothers 19 Year Old

One of three closed distilleries in Inverness, Glen Albyn was rarely seen as a single malt with the majority of its output being used in blends. The distillery was one of many which closed its doors in 1983. Its owners in the very early 1970s, Mackinlay’s, were early fans of single malt bottlings and produced a handful of official releases. Little was to follow when DCL (now Diageo) took control in 1972, with the next distillery bottling not appearing until the Rare Malt Selection was released over 20 years later. Most of the opportunities to sample this lost distillery therefore come in the form of independent labels like this. 

This was distilled in 1978 and bottled by Hart Brothers in 2000.

The Hart Brothers bottling company was founded in 1964 when Iain and Donald Hart incorporated as a wine and spirit merchant and Scotch whisky blenders. They have been bottling independent single malts since the 1980s.
