Distillery profile:
The Glen Albyn distillery was located west of Inverness,
making it a Northen Highlander by most accounts.
However, whisky writer Michael Jackson felt that
Glen Albyn was in fact a Speyside distillery. That's
a bit strange, because he classifies Glen Ord (located
just a drunken crawl to the north) as a Northern
Higlander. More
