Description
Signatory Vintage bottled this Port Dundas grain, a 25 year old from 1996, drawn from cask 128326 + 128329 and bottled at 51.1%. Just 399 bottles were filled. Port Dundas was Scotland's largest distillery in its prime, dating to 1811 in the heart of Glasgow's blending trade and wound down by Diageo in 2010. It stood on the highest ground in the city, its chimney visible for miles.
Made from a wheat mash drawn on Loch Katrine water and run through the distillery's continuous Coffey stills, this is a smooth, low flavour spirit built for long ageing. Refill American oak shaped it, soft wood that lets the grain lead. Past twenty years the grain turns deep, oily and softly waxy. Long, cool warehouse ageing lets cask and spirit knit slowly rather than forcing the flavour.
Undiluted at 51.1%, it is intense. Broken down lignin lends vanilla and oak lactones a gentle coconut, with a butterscotch and toffee sweetness, atop the creamy grain make. It is plush and silky, the sweetness carried on an oily body. The finish is gentle, sweet and clean. This is a relic of the city's great grain distilling age.
