The history of Glen Mhor is closely linked to that of the nearby Glen Albyn distillery, also located in Inverness. It was founded in 1892 by Mackinlay & Birnie; the first whisky was produced in december 1894. The distillery was closed in 1983 and demolished in 1988. The peat source for the Glen Mhor distillery was Dava Moor. In 1954 Glen Mhor was the very first malt whisky distillery to use the Saladin Box malting process. This process was abandoned in 1980, probably due to the relatively high costs. Today, there is a Co-op store where the Glen Mhor distillery used to be.
