It was built in Fort William, Scotland. It was located on the banks of the River Nevis, which provided a good supply of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlenlochy closed in 1919 after the First World War, which had disrupted production, and remained inactive for about two decades. It reopened in 1937 after being acquired by the Canadian entrepreneur Joseph Hobbs and continued production until World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1954, the distillery was sold to Distillers Company Ltd (DCL). Glenlochy was closed in 1983 due to over-supply of whisky. The site was sold for redevelopment in 1991 and most of the buildings were demolished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is one distillery that will never open again because in 1992 the site was sold and everything in the distillery was destroyed. The site was made into a hotel complex except for the maltings and kilns as they are listed buildings. There are still a few independent bottlings around but as time goes on these will get harder to find.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA typical Glenlochy profile: Nose: Sweet, fruits with a hint of oak and peat smoke.
