GLENLOCHY 44 ans 1979 REFILL AMERICAN HOGSHEAD Recollection Gordon & Macphail

$7,000.00

Founded in 1898 on the banks of the River Nevis, shortly after the completion of the West Highland Railway, Glenlochy distillery was ideally located for transporting its whisky to Glasgow.

The majority of the spirit produced in its stills was destined for blends, making any bottling bearing the distillery’s name exceedingly rare. Glenlochy ultimately closed its doors in 1983 and was sold in 1991 to be converted into a hotel.

Most of the original buildings have since been demolished, except for the kiln building, but the essence of this distillery lives on in this single malt.

Distilled in 1979, this whisky was matured for 44 years in a refill American hogshead and bottled at 53.2%.

The Recollection #3 range, through a series of meticulously selected bottlings, revisits the history of Scotland’s closed distilleries.

Preserved in Gordon & MacPhail’s warehouses, these whiskies capture a moment in time and a chapter of Scotland’s whisky legacy.
