The Port Dundas 14 Year Old Single Grain Whisky is a meticulously selected expression from the now-shuttered Port Dundas distillery in Glasgow, Scotland. Bottled by Signatory Vintage, this whisky was distilled in August 2008 and matured for 14 years in two second-fill Oloroso sherry butts, resulting in a rich and flavorful character. Uncolored and unchill-filtered, it boasts an ABV of 46.0%.
Port Dundas distillery, established in 1811, was a significant landmark in Glasgow, though not widely known. Located at the highest point of the city, it was situated near the Forth & Clyde canal. In 1860, it merged with the Cowlairs distillery, leading to its growth as the largest distillery in Scotland. However, in 2010, Diageo decided to concentrate grain production at the expansive Cameronbridge, and despite rival bids, Port Dundas ceased production in 2011 and was later demolished.
This single grain whisky offers a classic grain whisky flavor profile, slightly sweeter than malt whisky, yet retaining a robust character that can impress malt whisky enthusiasts. It exhibits a mild, full, and elegant character with a powerful finish.
Notes of crepe Suzette with orange marmalade, roasted almonds, and bois bandé are present, along with a mild, granular character reminiscent of maria biscuits or 'kaakjes' in Dutch. Coconut, soft caramel, and lightly toasted notes are also discernible, with hints of vanilla and gentle fruitiness. The finish reveals flavors of sweet oatcakes, vanilla, and a touch of butter.
This whisky, bottled by Signatory Vintage, has not undergone cold filtration and retains its natural color. It is a rare find, especially at this price point, offering a unique opportunity to savor a piece of distillery history.

The Port Dundas 14 Year Old Single Grain Whisky is a remarkable expression that brilliantly showcases the legacy of the now-closed distillery.
