About This Whisky
Inverleven was a Lowland single malt Scotch distillery built in 1938 as part of the larger Dumbarton distilling complex on the Clyde, and it closed in 1991. Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky is an independent bottler based in Huntly, Scotland, holding a collection of aged single malt and single grain casks which it bottles from its own headquarters. This 26 Year Inverleven sits within Duncan Taylor's stock of Lowland single malt, drawn from casks laid down at the distillery before it closed.
Tasting Profile

Serving & Food
Pour neat at room temperature in a small tumbler, with a single large ice cube for a softer pour. Match with smoked salmon, dark chocolate or a slice of stilton.
How to Enjoy

About the Distillery
Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky is an independent bottler founded in Glasgow in 1938 as a cask broker and trading company, now based in Huntly, Scotland. The company built a collection of aged single malt and single grain casks sourced directly from distilleries, many of which are no longer operating, and bottles them under its own labels including Dimensions, Octave and regional series such as AYearshire. Lowland casks from Inverleven are part of that portfolio, released periodically as single-cask bottlings.
