Glen Flagler was a whiskey distillery in the Moffat / Inver House distillery complex, Moffat, Airdrie , North Lanarkshire , Scotland , UK .
history
Glen Flagler was built in 1964 by the American group Publicker , which at the time also owned Inver House . The Garnheath Grain Distillery and Killyloch were located under the roof of an earlier paper mill . Whether Glen Flagler and Killyloch are to be regarded as one distillery or two different is a matter of debate.
Glen Flagler itself only existed for almost 20 years, making it one of the Scottish distilleries with the shortest production time. Although most of the production was destined for the American blend industry, there were also single malt bottlings in the 1960s and 1970s , all of which are now sought-after collector's items. When the demand for blended whiskey in America was declining, Inver House decided to close the distillery in 1985.
production
The water of the distillery, which belongs to the Lowlands / Western Lowlands region, came, as in all distilleries in the distillery complex, from Lilly Loch. The used Malz came from their own hiking pile - malt house , which in 1978 at Associated British times Marketers Ltd. was sold.
