- Description
- Glen Flagler was not a distillery but a whisky brand produced at the Moffat Grain Distillery in Airdrie during its 21-year run from 1964 to 1985, making this 1980s bottling exceptionally scarce. This 5-year-old release in a rare 200cl format at 40% ABV represents the final years of production before the brand ceased entirely. Highly collectable for those pursuing obscure Lowland whisky history and early examples of grain-based single malt bottlings.
