Description
This 1977 grain whisky from the now-demolished Dumbarton Distillery spent over four decades in wood before bottling at 48.4% ABV, capturing a style of Scottish grain production that has largely vanished. Grain whisky of this age develops subtle cereal sweetness and an almost creamy texture, with the extended maturation softening the typical spirit character into something unexpectedly refined. A historical document in a glass, best appreciated by those interested in Scottish distilling's industrial heritage.
