Famously the oldest distillery in Inverness (founded in 1807), Millburn was owned by Haig, Booth, then DCL, who closed it in 1985.

A Millburn 25 year old distilled in 1975 and bottled at cask strength in 2001 for the Rare Malts series. Created in the mid-1990s by United Distillers (Diageo), the Rare Malts series features bottlings from many of the group’’s distilleries, including some of the lesser known whose production was generally used for blends, as well as closed distilleries such as Port Ellen and Brora. Bottled at cask strength, the whiskies in the range are also known for their sometimes astounding alcohol content, often exceeding 60% ABV. The Rare Malts range was discontinued in 2005.
