product Details

Glen Mhor 1976 Juul's Vin and Spiritus Tram 5

Glen Mhor was one of three distilleries based in Inverness along with Millburn and Glen Albyn, all of which closed within two years of each other. Glen Mhor was one of the earlier, in 1983, and it was demolished just three years later. A historically significant malt, this was just a small two still operation, but was bottled both as a single malt in the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as making its way into high profile blends such as the one discovered in ice under Ernest Shackleton's hut. The owners for the majority of its history were Charles Mackinlay & Co, who produced several official releases for the emerging Italian single malt market in the late 1960s, but this stopped when DCL took over 1972. They licensed the brand to Gordon & MacPhail until its closure, and Diageo later included it in the Rare Malts Selection series, all of which remain rare and increasingly sought after. Bottlings from independent labels like this are equally so.

This 1976 vintage was bottled in 1997 for Juul's Vin & Spiritus.

Juul's Vin & Spiritus is one of Denmark's most respected wine and spirits importer and retailers. They were established by Svend Juul in 1926 and the business has remained family run for three generations since. Located in Copenhagen, the shop boasts an impressive collection of whisky, and the contacts and strong relationships it has built over its near-100 year history have allowed it to produce a number of its own sought-after independent bottlings.

This release is part of their Tram series, each of which displays a tram number from the Copenhagan network, designed by danish graphic artist, Knud V. Englehardt.

This bottle is being sold from the Pat's Whisk(e)y private collection which, numbering in excess of 9,000 bottles and over 2,000 miniatures, is the single largest collection of whisky ever to be brought to auction. Pat's Whisk(e)y is the result of over fifteen years of passion and dedication to the goal of creating one of the most complete libraries of whisky and whiskey ever amassed by an individual collector. It contains bottles from over 150 different Scottish distilleries, as well as bourbon, rare Scotch releases from sought-after independent bottlers in Europe, and whisky from other distilleries across the globe. Whisky Auctioneer is delighted to have partnered with Pat's Whisk(e)y to offer this collection across a number of exclusive and spotlight auctions. For more information, please click here.
