Several distilleries shared the site: Dumbarton, Inverleven and Lomond. All of them are closed by now.
Hiram Walker sold the distillery to Allied Distillers which would later become Allied Domecq. When Pernod Ricard acquired Allied Domecq, they also became the owner of Inverleven. The distillery is closed with no hope to reopen inthe future. Main reason herefor is that the installations are very old and difficult to modify.
