Not much is known about the Glenavon Distillery, except that it began operations in 1851, was licensed in 1852, and closed in 1858. With only seven years of operation, it was impossible to obtain. The exact information from the factory is also quite understandable. The distillery’s rare surviving version of Glenavon was distilled in the distillery’s first year of operation and was essentially split into two releases. The first is the trial version, with a capacity of only 400ml. This version was sold at auction at Bonhams in 2006, when it was 148 years old and immediately became famous when it appeared at the time. The next and final release is the official factory version, the 700ml version. However, finding an official bottle like this is always a big challenge when there is so little information about it, one can only imagine the 700ml version through the published image of the company. 400ml version. Unique olive green glass bottle with cork tightly sealed, on the label is the factory’s name and the words “bottled by distillery”. The Glenavon distillery has been closed for 165 years now, so it’s safe to say that the reappearance of this early whiskey is both magical and surprising.
