The Dumbarton grain distillery was built in 1937/8 by the Canadian firm Hiram Walker-Gooderham and Worts to supply grain whisky for their Ballantine’s blended Scotch whisky brand. Hiram Walker was always innovative, and Dumbarton began life with unusual stainless steel column stills which were only capable of distilling corn (maize).

The Dumbarton complex also housed two pot stills to make the Inverleven single malt, and in 1956 Scotland’s first Lomond still was commissioned onsite, making a separate single malt called Lomond. The Lomond still was decommissioned in 1985, with Inverleven following suit in 1991; the grain distillery was eventually shuttered in 2002 under Pernod Ricard. Inverleven and Lomond’s stills survive, however, and are now used at both Bruichladdich and the Waterford distillery in Ireland.

Claxton’s is a family-owned independent bottler of single malt whisky based in Yorkshire but with a bonded warehouse and bottling facility in Dumfries in the Scottish Lowlands. The company began bottling single cask whiskies in 2015 and have become prolific in recent years, with over 400 releases under their belt by mid 2024, the most famous of which is probably the outstanding 22-year-old Springbank 1996 released in 2018.

Claxton’s Warehouse No.1 and Warehouse No.8 whiskies are single cask releases and are bottled at cask strength, with the Warehouse No.8 releases usually from Octaves or other small casks. The company introduced their Claxton’s Explorations series in 2020, a range of youngish whiskies bottled at 50%.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
