Glenlochy now 'silent' was built at the turn of the century, inthe shadow of Ben Nevis. This bottling is one of the last to come from its old direct coal-fired stills.

Look for aromas of oak and roasted chestnuts, with more smooth creamy chestnut flavours on the palate and a big, dry finish.

Glenlochy distillery was built in the Shadow of Ben Nevis in 1890. The distillery was one of many to close in 1983.

Although some of the distillery buildings still stand the distilling equipment has long since been removed.

The buildings are being converted into residential property.

Fort William's 'other' distillery was dismantled in 1983 unfortunately and as a result the whisky is increasingly hard to find.

A refill hoggie has produced this dram with a colour of pressed apple juice. The nose is subtle, but if you close your eyes and concentrate you might find lemon toffee bonbons, vanilla and malt (Horlicks). Adding water brings out cho¬colate, ground hazelnuts and the rather inexplicable impression of a garden in summer. The neat taste is sweet malt and lemon sherbet; reduced it is like Ferrero Rocher chocolates. A sweetly coy and charming dram with a frivolous wink

Gordon & Macphail, Elgin

Since 1895 Gordon & Macphail has worked with the majority of Scotland’s distilleries and

today, matures, selects and bottles some of the world’s finest and rarest Singl Malt Scotch Whiskies.

Founded in 1898, Glenlochy first produced whisky in 1901. The Distillery had several owners before

eventually being acquired by D C L in the 1950s. Although the distillery was modenised and

expanded , it was mothballed in 1983.

A number of the buildings remain – the manager’s house and the malting have been converted into

a guest house and apartments. A few official bottling have been released, however Glenlochy remains an extremely rare whisky.

TASTING NOTES:

Medium bodied with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla. The palate is peppery initially with a creamy milk chocolate edge and mouth coating finish

The Western Highlands
GLENLOCHY

Fort William, Inverness-shire. Licentiehouder: D. & J. MacCallum Ltd. Onderdeel van Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd. (S.M.D.). De malt divisie van United Distillers Ltd. Eigendom van Guinness.
Glenlochy werd in 1898 gesticht door David McAndie, een inwoner van Nairn, met de naam Glenlochy - Fort William Distillery Company Ltd.
Het gebouwencomplex staat aan de oever van de rivier Nevis, in de schaduw van Ben Nevis en twee kilometer ten noorden van Fort William.
De West Highland Railway was dichtbij.
Het moment was slecht gekozen om een whisky distilleerderij te beginnen, de whisky-boom was teneinde en hoewel Glenlochy nog wel in produktie kwam, was de geproduceerde hoeveelheid veel minder dan de capaciteit.
In de eerste wereldoorlog was Glenlochy gesloten.
In 1920 werden de aandelen verkocht aan een groep Engelse bierbrouwers en was Glenlochy waarschijnlijk enige tijd in gebruik als bierbrouwerij.
Glenlochy was gesloten van 1919 tot 1924 en van 1926 tot 1937.
Van 1934 tot 1937 was er in een deel van Glenlochy een autoverhuurder gevestigd.
In 1937 werd Glenlochy gekocht door Tarin & Mclntyre Ltd, een onderneming van de speculant van Joseph W. Hobbs, die met steun van National Distillers of America, distilleerderijen in Schotland opkocht, om aan de te verwachten vraag, na beëindiging van de drooglegging in Amerika, naar whisky te kunnen voldoen.
Associated Scottish Distillers, onderdeel van Train & Mclntyre kochten een hele reeks be-drijven, Bruichladdich, Glenury Royal, North Esk, Lochside, (Old) Fettercairn, Benromach, en Strathdee.
In 1953 werd Train & Mclntyre overgenomen door The Distillers Company Ltd (D.C.L) en ondergebracht bij hun malt divisie Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd. (S.M.D.).
Glenlochy had twee ketels, werd nog opnieuw ingericht in 1960 en gerenoveerd in 1970 maar werd gesloten in 1983 als gevolg van de recessie die er toen heerste in de Schotse whiskyindustrie.
In 1992 werd het gebouwencomplex gekocht door de lokale hotelgroep West Coast Inn Ltd.
De met een pagoda getooide schoorsteen siert nog steeds het gebouw.
Het water kwam van de rivier de Nevis.
Glenlochy had één Wash still en één Spirit still.

October 2005
Diageo has announced that its 2005 Annual Rare Malts Selection will be the last.
The collection will consist of four cask strenght single malts from closed distilleries; Glen Mhor 28 years old, Millburn 35 years old, Glendullan 26 years old and Linkwood 30 years old.
Dr. Nicholas Morgan, global malts marketing director commented: 'As the Special Releases are now well established, it makes less sence to continue selecting and promoting a parallel series of Rare Malts with his own separate indentity'.
In future, all premium and rare whiskies will be made available in the annual Special Releases series.

GORDON & MACPHAIL, Elgin
Since 1895 Gordon & Macphail has worked with the majority of Scotland's distilleries and
today, matures, selects and bottles some of the world's finest and rarest Singl Malt Scotch Whiskies.

Founded in 1898, Glenlochy first produced whisky in 1901. The Distillery had several owners before
eventually being acquired by D C L in the 1950s. Although the distillery was modenised and
expanded , it was mothballed in 1983.

A number of the buildings remain - the manager's house and the malting have been converted into
a guest house and apartments. A few official bottling have been released, however Glenlochy remains an extremely rare whisky.

Process- and cooling water was the River Nevis.
The floor malting were abandon in 1968.There was also a supplementary old malt floor in use, which were the maltings of the Nevis Distillery and when Nevis was closed called Lochaber Maltings. This Maltings were in use till 1962 and demolished in 1984.

After that the malt came from Glen Ord Maltings.

The Mash tun had a capacity of 5 tonnes and there were 9 mashes each week.
4 Wooden wash backs each 29000 litres were made of Oregon pine

1 onion shaped Wash stil, indirect heatedl had a capacity of 14.580 litres and the Spirit
still also onion shaped and indirecht heated had a capacity of 14.380 litres

Cooling was done by condensers, bought in 1962. The output was about 1.000.000 litres
of spirit a year.

Nineteenth century Highland malt distillery once operated by Canadian whisky baron Joseph Hobbs.

No official bottlings were released during this Highland distillery’s lifetime – the majority of Glenlochy’s spirit was destined for blends which during the 1930s were headed for the US. However, Diageo released Glenlochy single malt as part of its Rare Malts series during the 1990s and a handful of independent bottlings are still available.

David McAndie of Nairn built Glenlochy distillery in Fort William in the hope of catching the tail end of the great Victorian whisky boom. Founded in 1898 by his aptly-named Glenlochy-Fort William Distillery Co., it was built on the banks of the River Nevis shortly after the completion of the West Highland Railway. With its own rail sidings, Glenlochy was positioned well to transport its whisky down to the blenders in Glasgow with minimal fuss.

Surprisingly for such a young distillery McAndie’s venture survived the crash of the early 20th century. However the First World War majorly disrupted production and the distillery closed in 1919 for the next two decades, during which time it was purchased by Thomas Leslie Rankin and used as a base for a motor hire business.

By the mid-1930s, with Prohibition over in the US and demand for blended Scotch rising, Canadian entrepreneur Joseph Hobbs joined forces with Hatim Attari and Alexander Tolmie to set up Associated Scottish Distillers as a subsidiary of the National Distillers-owned Train & McIntyre. In 1937 the company, which had already acquired Glenury Royal, added Glenlochy to its portfolio and reopened the distillery. The following year Glenesk, Benromach and Fettercairn distilleries were all picked up, while Hobbs’ Bruichladdich distillery joined the fold.

World War II hit Train & McIntrye hard. The widespread disruption to production and subsequent shortages led to National Distillers selling off its Scottish assets – first Bruichladdich to Ross & Coulter in 1952, and the remainder of the company, including Glenlochy, to DCL the following year. Although Train & McIntyre was soon wound up, Hobbs picked himself up and got straight back to distilling, acquiring Glenlochy’s neighbour, Ben Nevis, in 1955. To this day, Ben Nevis remains Fort William’s only distillery.

Although it was modernised by DCL in the years that followed, Glenlochy was eventually closed in 1983 as the company sought to cut back on excessive whisky supply.

It never reopened. The site was sold to West Coast Inns for redevelopment as a hotel in 1991. All Glenlochy’s buildings have since been demolished aside from the original maltings and kilns, which now remain as residential flats
