Product description
Port Dundas Distillery, founded in 1811 in Glasgow by Daniel Macfarlane, initially produced malt whisky.
The distillation columns were installed in 1845 and soon Port Dundas, equipped with 5 stills and 3 columns, aspired to the title of the largest Scottish distillery. In 1877, the plant became part of DCL and for many years supplied grain distillate to all the major blends of the group, Johnnie Walker, Haig's and Black & White. Despite a major modernization completed in the 1970s, Port Dundas did not face the challenges of the new century and ceased operation in 2010. Port Dundas 16 years old is a proposal of Douglas Laing & Co. in the Old Particular series. The whisky distilled in July 2004 was aged in a refill bourbon cask no. DL 14630 and bottled in February 2021 in a limited edition of 246 bottles.
