Millburn Distillery – Closed
The oldest of the lost Inverness triumvirate, Millburn began life in 1807 as a farm distillery on the East side of Inverness – a far cry from the development that Inverness and the former location of the distillery would eventually go on to witness.
Unfortunately, in 1985 the distillery was closed just two years after its inverness relatives – Glen Albyn and Glen Mhor were shut during the tragic whisky loch of the 1980s. During its lifetime Millburn produced a highly acclaimed malt that was known for being a lightly smoky whisky with notes of silky honey, grilled tropical fruits and gentle spice.
