The original bottle stopper label states that it contains half a gallon of whisky and a built-in pourer. However, this bottle was destined for the Italian market and they have added a label describing the contents as being 2 litres – something of an understatement. Being from a very short-lived distillery just adds to the curiosity of this unusual expression. The assumption is that this was bottled towards the end of Glen Flagler’s productive life when the stocks would be quite plentiful, hence the large bottle size. But that ended in 1982!

Distillery

Glen Flagler/Garnheath Distillery

Classified as a Lowland distillery, Glen Flagler was a hybrid pot still operation within the old Moffat complex, which also produced Garnheath grain whisky. Glen Flagler was bottled by the distillery and by independent merchants. The Moffat distillery complex was set up in 1964 by Inver House Distillers, a subsidiary of Publicker Industries Inc., in the USA. Malt whisky distilling commenced in February, 1965 and continued until 1982.  There were 6 pot stills operating technically as two separate distilleries, one making Glen Flagler, and Glen Moffat, a heavier version of Glen Flagler and the other making Killyloch, and Islebrae.
