HTFW Cat. No: LP8300
Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

The oldest whisky ever bottled by Diageo for the 2017 special releases series.

A 52 year old Port Dundas, distilled way back in 1964 and aged in refill American hogsheads and only the second release of this closed grain distillery in the series.

Just 752 bottles have been released making this the real limited release and hardest to get hold of of the 2017 Diageo releases.

This Port Dundas is astonishingly rich and complex for a grain whisky, and might be mistaken for a classy Bourbon on the nose and in the mouth: it's creamy and fruity, with bags of vanilla toffee.

9.2/10 Editor's choice in Whisky Magazine.

Just magnificent. A real star of a whisky.

An excellent example of very old grain, with a hugely fruity centre.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights, a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Like stepping into a perfectly warmed bath, soft, inviting and tranquil. Creamy sweetness with gentle nuttiness, mingled with chocolate-coated toffee pennies and vanilla-cream pastries; a richly indulgent grain aroma.

Palate

Plenty of vanilla here with a Bourbon-esque spiced edge. Maraschino cherries, dried apricots and mango sit with a wrapping of oak vanilla and pencil shavings.

Finish

An exceptionally long finish that stays sweet and winey, then opens to vanilla and spice. A gentle tingle lingers, with oak polish and a soft, fruity warmth fading into a quiet, refined glow.

Port Dundas (silent)
(port DUN-duss) Port Dundas was founded in Glasgow in 1811 beside the Forth & Clyde Canal, and for much of its life it was one of the city’s great whisky landmarks. A second nearby distillery, Cowlairs, later merged with Port Dundas in 1860, and in 1877 the site became one of the founding members of Distillers Company Limited, underlining its importance in the history of Scotch grain whisky.
