Douglas MacNiven & Company
Founded

Company type
Blender
Incorporated in 1935, Douglas MacNiven & Co was set up as a subsidiary of Glenmorangie distillery-owner, MacDonald & Muir. It remained part of that family of companies until 2020 when it was eventually dissolved while under the ultimate control of LVMH.
In its time, it produced a variety of blended Scotch brands as well as the single malt labels Glen Niven and Glen Morven. It was also responsible for the infamous 80:20 blended malt, the result of a vatting incident at its bottling plant that saw 21-year-old Glenmorangie mixed with a batch of younger whisky from another distillery.
