Millburn 1966 16 Year Old Sherry Cask G M Gordon & Macphail

Millburn 1983/1995 James Mac Arthur's

Millburn the last of the Inverness-three on my list and coincidentally also the last one to close its doors now more than thirty years ago. Most surprisingly it was also the only one to be spared from demolition, being turned into the restaurant/Premier Inn hotel that it still is today. You can still see it today, though little in the architecture...

This 17 Year Old, a distillate from a time when I was still running...

Millburn 35 Year Old 1969 Rare Malts Selection

This Millburn 1969 is one of the few semi official bottlings from this closed distillery. First they turned it into a Beefeater restaurant (just like they did with Rosebank), then it was converted into a Premier Inn motel. So this is a bit of liquid history. And a distillate from before I was born, which is always a bit special. Ooh, what is this?...
