Glen Mhor was a Highland single malt distillery located in Inverness, Scotland, founded in 1892 by John Birnie and Charles Mackinlay. Built during the boom years of the late nineteenth century, the distillery was incorporated as Mackinlay & Birnie in 1906. It later passed through several hands before being acquired by the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1972, alongside its neighbour Glen Albyn. The distillery was notably innovative for its time: it continued to operate on hydro-electric power until the 1950s, and in 1954 became the first distillery in Scotland to install a Saladin box malting system, a mechanical approach to malting that was considered a significant advancement in whisky production. Glen Mhor was known for producing a light, approachable Highland single malt that was well regarded by blenders and collectors alike. Unfortunately, Glen Mhor fell victim to the so-called 'whisky loch' — the industry-wide oversupply crisis — and closed in 1983, the same year as the legendary Port Ellen and Brora distilleries. The buildings were demolished in 2001, leaving no physical trace of the distillery. Today, Glen Mhor survives only through rare independent bottlings from houses such as Gordon & MacPhail, making surviving expressions highly sought after by collectors of lost and silent distilleries.
