Glen Flagler was a distillery located in Scotland. Established in 1964, it was situated within the Moffat complex in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. The distillery was named after the nearby Glen Flagler Farm, which was known for its barley production. Glen Flagler produced single malt whisky using traditional distillation methods. The distillery had a short lifespan, operating only from 1964 to 1985. Despite its relatively brief existence, Glen Flagler gained a reputation for producing high-quality whisky with a unique character.
Glen Flagler was known for its light and fruity style of whisky. The distillery used pot stills for distillation, resulting in a spirit that was smooth and delicate. The whisky produced at Glen Flagler was often described as having notes of citrus, honey, and vanilla. One interesting fact about Glen Flagler is that it was one of the few distilleries in Scotland to use Lomond stills, which allowed for greater flexibility in the production process. Unfortunately, the distillery was closed in 1985 and the buildings were demolished in the 1990s. Today, Glen Flagler whisky is highly sought after by collectors and whisky enthusiasts.
