- Description
- Port Dundas spent 46 years in a single refill hogshead between 1978 and 2024, resulting in just 147 cask-strength bottles from Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular collection. This aged grain whisky develops subtle complexity—soft grain sweetness interwoven with oak influence and a silky texture refined by decades of maturation. A rare window into Scottish grain whisky's capacity for refinement and longevity.
