Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Scottish Distillery Glen Albyn distillery was a Scotch malt whisky distillery in Inverness, Scotland and operated from 1846 to 1983.[1] Glen Albyn whiskey brand was relaunched in 2022.[2][3]

It 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.

Glen Albyn whisky brand was relaunched in December 2022 and its honorary president is Lord French, Baron de Freyne.[6]

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]
