Two weeks and two closed distilleries—this time, one from a little further away from home, in the form of Glen Mhor. Glen Mhor was one of the Inverness distilleries. Inverness had a rich whisky distilling history, which by the 1990s had sadly all but disappeared, though not forgotten. Fortunately, whiskies like this amazing 1965 Glen Mhor are still being released, keeping that history alive.

There is also a glimmer of hope for Inverness’s whisky tradition, as the Uile-Bheist distillery opened in the city a couple of years ago, producing both single malt and beer.

This whisky has a slight earthy peat note as well as a lovely caramel sweetness. It’s a sip of history in a bottle.
