- Description
- Dumbarton grain distillery closed in 2002, but this 22-year-old from 1996 survives as an independent bottling—a taste of a Lowland producer once famous for supplying Ballantine's blends. The distillery's historic character, including its flock of protective geese, lives on through such releases.
