Tasting Notes
Glen Mhor 1980 Vintage is a rare Highland single malt from the long-closed Glen Mhor distillery, bottled in 2011 by Gordon & MacPhail. Matured in refill sherry butts, this whisky offers a beautifully restrained and elegant expression of a lost distillery style, shaped by time rather than heavy oak influence.
Refill sherry casks have allowed the spirit to mature slowly and gracefully, preserving Glen Mhor’s soft malt character while layering in gentle dried fruits, subtle spice and polished oak. The result is a poised, nuanced whisky that speaks to an earlier era of Highland distilling—quietly complex, balanced and deeply evocative.
An increasingly scarce bottling, this 1980 vintage release stands as both a collector’s piece and a rare opportunity to experience a distillery that now exists only in whisky history.
