Glenburgie end Miltonduff distilleries followed in 1937 and their new, giant complex in Dumbarton, featuring grain and malt distilleries, was operational the following year. Today the group is owned by Allied Domecq and operated by their wholly Scottish-based subsidiary, Allied Distillers. The Dumbarton plant is renowned locally for its 'Scotchwatch' alarm system, comprising 100-odd noisy Chinese geese! |

| Remark : | Special reserve Scotch Whisky. Needs ice. From the label : In celebration of the founding of George Ballantine & Son, Ltd, George Ballantine created his own gold seal which symbolised the quality and exacting standards that the Company was to become famous for. Over a century later, the Ballantine's Master blender has specially selected over forty of Scotland's greatest malts, matured for 12 years or longer, to produce a unique and gratifying blend worthy of the name Gold Seal. Allied Walker Distributors Ltd says : This blend offers a smoother, rounder and more mature taste with a lasting depth of flavour. It is equivalent to drinking a first growth wine and the label signifies that it comprises only the best whiskies which have each matured in oak casks for at least 12 years. |
