Hiram Walker sold the distillery to Allied Distillers. Pernod Ricard acquired Allied Domecq in 2005 and added it to his Chivas Brothers subsidiary.[2]
Inverleven was closed in 1991.[3]
In 2005, Bruichladdich distillery at Port Charlotte in Islay bought Inverleven stills to be used there.[4]
Inverleven distillery was demolished in 2006.[3]
