Started in 1846 thanks to a local duke, James Sutherland. As it stood behind the Caledonian Canal, water was drawn here directly from Loch Ness. It closed between 1917 and 1919 and was used as an American naval base during the First World War. In 1920 it was acquired by Mackinlays & Birnie (also known as Glen Mhor Distillery). In 1972 both Glen Mhor and Glen Albyn bought DCL, and closed it in 1983. A couple of years later, the distillery was demolished to build a supermarket in its place.

Glen Albyn whisky style: A light, dry whisky with floral and fruity notes. Apéritif.
