Glen Mhor                                      Back to Whisky Reviews

"Glen Mhor" means "Great Glen" in Gaelic.  This distillery was founded in 1892 by John Birnie & James McKinley and production commenced in 1894. Unfortunately, the distillery was closed in 1983, and the buildings were torn down to make way for a supermarket.  Sad.

Glen Mhor 28 yr old (1976)

Jackie's Review:

nose - oranges, oak, (almost peaty oak), slightly spicy

taste - sweetness, toffee (?) but not overly sweet. Very smooth.

finish - short on the finish at first....but wait for it....it's almost peaty, and lingers. think twigs and bark!

balance - excellent whisky.  Just when you think you've figured it out....more tastes come at you. a splash of water brought out more of the florals, but it doesn't need it.

Score = 90
