Glen Albyn distillery was a Highland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Inverness, Scotland.
It operated from 1846 to 1983.[1] Glen Albyn whiskey brand was relaunched in 2022.[2][3]
History
Glen Albyn distillery was founded in 1846 by James Sutherland, who was Provost of Inverness at the time. [4]
The previous owner was the global multinational Diageo which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange with assets of $49 billion.[5]
Glen Albyn closed in 1983 and was demolished in 1988.[2]
Glen Albyn whisky brand was relaunched in December 2022 and its honorary president is Lord French, Baron de Freyne.[6][3]
Collectable Bottles
For much of its history most of Glen Albyn's produce was used for other blends so its single malt bottlings are very rare. [7] As a result of this, it sells at international auction houses such as Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams with individual bottles often fetching up to $4000 each. [8][9]
In July 2022 a rare bottling of Glen Albyn from 1852 sold for a price of $132,000 to an anonymous American collector. It was signed by prime minister Benjamin Disraeli.[10]
