Glen Albyn 1974 26 Year Old Old Malt Cask

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.

Having been in specialist and craft Scotch Whisky production for generations, Douglas Laing originally exported blends, but now carries the family name down the line by focusing on bottling exceptional single malts and grains as part of their Old Particular, Provenance and XOP ranges. They also enjoy huge success with their “Remarkable Regional Malts” range; a series of creatively named vatted malts, designed to epitomise the characteristics of Scotland’s whisky regions.

The Old Malt Cask range is usually bottled at a preferred strength of 50%, known as “golden strength”, as it is believed this strength allows the drinker to experience the malt in its full and redolent glory.
