Description
From Living Souls comes this Port Dundas single grain, 35 year old in the wood, and bottled at 50.5%. One of Scotland's great grain distilleries, Port Dundas was raised in 1811 at the highest point in Glasgow and closed in 2010 just short of two centuries. Most of its make went to blends rather than single bottlings, so single grain Port Dundas is uncommon.
Made using wheat, malted barley and soft Loch Katrine water and distilled continuously in tall Coffey column stills, this is a clean grain spirit with little weight of its own. Ex-Bourbon American oak held the spirit, gentle wood that flatters light grain. Very old grain like this grows waxy and exotic, the years having slowly concentrated it. A clean spirit and a long sleep let the oak express itself fully.
Bottled at a cask strength 50.5%, it is rich. Lignin breakdown lends vanilla and a coconut note from the lactones, with a toffee, dessert like sweetness, over a base of light citrus and tropical fruit. A touch of warm spice lifts the creamy body. It fades slowly on vanilla and oak. This is a closing record of a distillery silenced in 2010.
