Killyloch Distillery (Closed 1980's)
Airdrie. Lanarkshire. ML6 8PL. Scotland.
Glen Flagler aka Killyloch
Dismantled in 1965 a distillery began production in the Central Lowlands.
There were two sets of stills, each producing a different whisky,
Glen Flagler and Killyloch. The Killyloch stills were shut down in
the early 1970's and Glen Flagler followed a decade later when the
distilleries were dismantled. The properties were bought out by a
new entity, Inver House, which is located on the same site and has
been acquiring distilleries (Old Pulteney, An Cnoc, Balmenach).
Merchant Bottlings: In the 1990's a few casks surfaced and bottlings
were released by Signatory. This may be the last to be heard from
the short-lived distillery.

Having started out life as a paper mill, Glen Flagler was purchased
and transformed in 1965 into Moffat Distillery, also home to the Garnheath
and Killyloch stills.
Inver House had their own maltings at this time which enabled them
to vary the degree of peating in their malts. Glen Flagler is lightly
peated and for a Lowland Malt, has a surprisingly Speyside character.
Glen Flagler is one of the cleanest and softest single malts to be
bottled at this age. An elegant and fruity malt with a complex taste.
A subtle hint of smokiness with a note of vanilla, giving a long clean
finish
