Viewer's Comments about Glyn Albyn
 The
original Glen Albyn Distillery was founded in 1844 by the
Inverness Provost at the time, James Sutherland. Three years
later, fire destroyed the main building of the distillery
and production did not resume until 1852. However, misfortune
continued when the the owner went bankrupt another three years
later and the distillery closed. Although used briefly as
a flour mill, Glen Albyn lay silent until 1884 when it was
purchased by A.M. Gregory who rebuilt the distillery, kept
the same name and had his own railway which linked to the
main line.
During World War I, Glen Albyn was closed once again as it
was occupied by the American military and used as a U.S. Naval
base. In 1920, Charles Mackinlay and the distillery manager,
John Birnie, acquired the Glen Alybn distillery. They also
owned the neighboring Glen Mhor Distillery. In 1972, Glen
Albyn was acquired by DCL.
 Due
to cutbacks, DCL closed the Glen Albyn Distillery in 1983.
A few years later, the distillery was demolised to make way
for new development.
The bottles of Glen Albyn whisky are stored in reserves and
private collections. |
