A rare Glenlochy distilled 1980 bottled 2008 under Signatory.

The distillery was build in 1898 in Fort Williams by David McAndie. He used the water from the river Nevis. Production started on the 4th of April in 1901. McAndie wanted to make a big profit from the whiskyboom but unfortunately he started his bussines in the middle of the Pattison crises. The distillery was closed from 1917 till 1924 en from 1926 till 1937. From 1934 till 1937 it was owned by Thomas Leslie Rankin. In 1937 bought by Train & McIntyre for Associated Scottish Distillers, a daughter of National Distillers of America. In 1953 handed over to SMD and DCL. Closed in 1983 en April 1986 partly demolished. The total demolishing of the maltingfloor and kilns were prevented by the District Council (I will spent a toast on them for the effort). In 1991 they build appartments in the former malting floor and kiln buildings, which can be rented as a Holiday lodge. In 1992 the buildings were bought by West Coasts Inns Ltd. A few years ago the spirit safe of the distillery was sold during an auction.

OK an expensive bottle (what is expensive?), but remember the last shirt hasn't any pocket's, my friends!
