Product description
Port Dundas Distillery, based in Glasgow, was established in 1811.
In 1885, it was Scotland's largest distillery - equipped with three distilling columns and five stills, it produced over 10 million liters of alcohol per year. Port Dundas is also one of the founders of the DCL (Distillers Company Limited) concern, whose legacy today belongs to Diageo. The plant underwent modernization in the 1970s, which doubled its production capacity, but it was too small for the needs of the new century and in 2010 it stopped distilling. The Port Dundas presented here, distilled in July 2004, spent over 16 years in a refill hogshead cask (no. DL 14762), and was bottled at 43% abv by Douglas Laing & Co. in March 2021 in a limited edition of 264 bottles.
