Description
Port Dundas closed in 1983, but this 45-year-old grain whisky from 1978 represents the distillery at its most refined—a rare survivor from the Lowland grain tradition. Matured in a single refill hogshead and bottled at 49.9% ABV, it delivers the characteristic sweetness and subtle complexity that long-aged grain whisky develops, with layers of vanilla and honeyed oak building over decades. The texture is smooth and refined, with a lingering finish that reflects the spirit's patient maturation. This is a collector's piece for those seeking historical depth and the understated elegance of classic Lowland grain.
