Inverleven Distillery

Inverleven Distillery, part of the Dumbarton distilling complex on the north bank of the River Clyde, was established in 1938 by Hiram Walker (Scotland) Ltd. This Canadian-owned company, which included Canadian Club and acquired George Ballantine & Son Ltd., built Inverleven to secure long-term whisky supplies for Ballantine’s blends. Equipped with two stills and five washbacks, Inverleven sourced water from Loch Lomond. The distillery closed in 1991 and was demolished in 2006, marking it as a lost Lowland malt whisky distillery.
