Inverleven & Lomond Distillery and Miniatures

There is some confusion over Inverleven and Lomond distilleries. As I understand the situation, two conventional pot stills were installed in the Dumbarton distillery complex 1938. These stills produced Inverleven malt whisky until 1991. A single Lomond still was installed in 1956. This still was fed from the Inverleven wash still and the produce was called Lomond malt whisky. The Lomond still was shut down in 1985 and it is now situated within Bruichladdich distillery. Inverleven has only been bottled regularly by Gordon and MacPhail. To my knowledge only two casks of Lomond malt have been bottled, both by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Two bottles of each were then re-bottled in miniature by James MacArthur and Co for private sale within the UK Mini Bottle Club.

The miniatures labelled as Dumbarton may contain malt whisky from the Dumbarton complex or they may contain an entirely different whisky.
