Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 278: Glen Flagler 5 Year Old
Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a lost malt. In 1964 Inver House Distillers built a grain distillery on the industrial estate Moffat at Airdrie, some 20 kilometers east of Glasgow. The grain whisky would be called Garnheath. But like at many grain distilleries at the time, some pot stills were installed, to produce three types of malt as well: Glen Flagler, Killyloch and Islebrae. Obviously they are very hard to find, knowing that the distillery was closed already in 1985. Fast forward to 2019 : a bottle of Glen Flagler 5 Year Old finds its way to Mark. He never passes up the opportunity to taste liquid history!
