Glenlochy 1979
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
Founded in 1898, on the banks of the River Nevis shortly after the completion of the West Highland Railway, Glenlochy was well positioned to transport its whisky to Glasgow. The bulk of spirit from its stills was destined for blends so any release featuring the distillery name is extremely rare. Glenlochy was eventually closed in 1983 and sold for redevelopment as a hotel in 1991. All of the original buildings have since been demolished apart from the kiln building, but within this single malt, its spirit endures.
