Release Notes
Dunlivet is a cheap blend possibly relabeled by BevMo. At least noone else appears to be selling it.
The Interwebs
This quality scotch has light and delicate flavors that you can compare to other brands that cost twice as much.

3rd Party Tasting Notes
[...]Similarly one might not think much of scotch if all they'd ever tried was Scoresby's or Dunlivet.

Nose: honey, medicine, candy
Taste: sharp
Finish: non-existent, just falls off a cliff
Balance: balanced crap, shades of Prestige
Alex Gurevich
Nose: chemical nose
Taste: ok
Finish: peppery
Balance: low grade shit
Andrew Pilgrim
Nose: aromatic but not especially pleasant, hot bubblegum on wet pavement
Taste: nose continues but in a nice way
Finish: finish is too speedy
Anthony Lanni
Ugh! Harsh, no flavor
Brent Watkins
Not a ton of character that I could tell, but very smooth and it balances well. I could probably drink a lot of this in an evening, but not a standout as super special
David Drell
Nose: nice sherry-ish, fruity nose
Taste: nice, sweet, matches nose
Finish: sort of sharp, bitter at first, decent length
Balance: good at start, bad finish, a decent fruity-sherry like scotch
Doug Seiden
Nose: OK at first with a thick funky finish
Taste: so-so, then awfully plastroy(?)
Finish: Ugh - leaves a moderately length plastic flavor
Balance: doesn't work for me even for a cheapy
Doug Seiden
Nose: bubblegum sweet
Taste: appears to have been aged in plastic
Finish: what finish? Just dies the moment you swallow it
Balance: all parts fit together including the mercifully short finish
Kolja Erman
Not enough balance acrodd the width. Perthshire
Robert Crawford
Nose: one dimensional
Taste: simple, sweet, a little chocolate
Finish: nice flourish with a bit of length
Balance: what there is fits together ok
Stuart Campbell
tastes like hatred, awful

Address:
Dunlivet appears to be a BevMo brand label for cheap blended Scotch. Nobody else appears to be selling this stuff and I can"t find any other information on it.

Robert G. Turner also surfaces on 24-7pressrelease.com as president of Indio Spirits Inc. talking about his company"s Snake River Stampede Rodeo 8yo. Canadian Whisky Vacation Giveaway during a PRCA rodeo. Apparently Indio Spirits is also a sponsor of Extreme Rodeo in association with Nampa Harvest Festival Association.
All the above information seems to point to Oregon, however on the Dunlivet bottle we"ve seen is states that CCDP is located in San Jose. It"s proven difficult to figure this out.
Very little information can be found online about Crown Century Distillers Products Ltd. Sometime president of the company, Robert G. Turner, was apparently interviewed for a "Report on Oregon Liquor Control" published in the City Club of Portland Bulletin where he is listed in Appendix A under "Persons Interviewed".
The address listed in this profile was found in a Tigard, OR city councel document from 1978 so it's entirely possible that this is not a current address.
