Nose
ORANGE OIL aromas give way to pressed APPLE and a hint of GINGER. Vibrant dried MANGO and HONEYCOMB lead to an undertone of BEESWAX POLISH.
Taste
Sweet TROPICAL FRUIT flavours; PINEAPPLE and BANANA combine with LEMON SHERBET. STRAWBERRY COMPOTE and VANILLA FUDGE are followed by notes of PECAN.
Finish
A full and smooth finish with toasted ALMONDS and OAK.
Glenlochy
This western highland distillery was built in 1898 by the Glenlochy - Fort William Distillery Co. Ltd, founded by David McAndie of Nairn. Glenlochy was in production until 1919. It then fell silent, apart from a short period during 1925.
Thomas Rankin, a local car hirer, bought the distillery in 1937, but it was not long before he sold in onto a group who eventually acquired quite a portfolio of distilleries: including Bruichladdich, Benromach, Fettercairn, Glen Esk and Glenury Royal distilleries around the same time.
Glenlochy was in production until 1983. In 1992 the site was then sold and demolished.
