Glen Albyn 1974 26 Year Old The Whisky Connoisseur - Lost Legends 5cl

A miniature bottle of Glen Albyn 26 Year Old Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky. This was distilled in 1974 and bottled at 58% ABV by Scotland Direct as part of The Whisky Connoisseur's Lost Legends series.

Glen Albyn was founded in 1846 by James Sutherland, a local landowner and mayor of Inverness. After a turbulent history, including time spent as a US naval base for mine manufacturing, Glen Albyn closed for good in 1983, and was demolished a few years later.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
