Inverness is one of my favourite places in the world. Sadly, one of the few things missing from Inverness, is a whisky distillery. Glen Albyn used to be one of three Inverness distilleries.
I've tasted Glen Albyn 1974 once before, during a sailing trip off the west coast of Scotland. Imagine my surprise when I encountered that exact same bottle at last year's Whiskybase Gathering. I brought home a sample, and here is the result.
It's not everyday that you get to taste a whisky of a closed distillery that was bottled in the eighties. One that has aged for 21 years even. But Yapi's High End Blind Tasting hasn't been an everyday tasting, so it should hardly be a surprise that he included a Glen Albyn 21yo from 1963
