- Description
- Port Dundas closed its stills in 2011, but this 26-year-old single grain from a closed Lowland distillery remains a rare testament to Glasgow's blending heritage. Matured in a single bourbon hogshead and bottled at cask strength, it delivers creamy sweetness with the soft, honeyed character typical of aged grain whisky. The texture is rich and coating, with subtle vanilla and oak providing backbone without aggression. A poignant dram for whisky historians and collectors seeking a piece of Scotland's industrial past—only 200 bottles were released.
