Distilled in 2009 at the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery, this 16-year-old Single Grain Scotch Whisky matured in a single hogshead cask. Port Dundas was once one of Scotland’s largest grain distilleries and a major supplier to blended Scotch before closing in 2010. Matured for 16 years, this release offers a classic grain whisky profile of sweetness, soft oak and creamy texture, balanced by a lively, fresh character. Bottled at 50.4% ABV in a 500ml format.

WHY THIS BOTTLE

Five reasons it belongs in your collection

From Port Dundas' final era

Distilled in 2009, only around a year before this historic Glasgow distillery closed.

Single hogshead whisky

Matured as an individual cask rather than created to achieve a standard house style.

Almost 200 years of history

Port Dundas produced grain whisky from 1811 until its closure in 2010.

Bottled at 50.4%

Creamy vanilla, honey, toffee, coconut and gentle oak spice.

16 years matured

Old enough to develop mature grain richness while retaining a lively, fresh character.

Port Dundas Distillery
Origin Story

Port Dundas Distillery

Founded in Glasgow in 1811 beside the Forth & Clyde Canal, Port Dundas grew into one of Scotland’s most important grain distilleries and by the 1880s was the country’s largest. Using Coffey and pot stills, it produced whisky from corn, barley and rye, while the vast site also absorbed neighbouring Cowlairs and Dundashill. Despite major fires in 1903 and 1916, it repeatedly rebuilt and modernised. Production finally ended in 2011 when Diageo shifted grain whisky production to Cameronbridge, and the landmark site was demolished.

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT

Real Bottles, Real Reviews

Feedback from customers who’ve ordered from Ardent and experienced it for themselves.

The independent difference

Why choose an independent bottling?

Chosen for character, not consistency
1 · Sourcing

Chosen for character, not consistency

We buy casks directly from distillery stock and taste before we commit - never to recreate a standard house style.

A single cask, never blended
2 · Cask selection

A single cask, never blended

Every release comes from one individually selected cask. No other whisky is blended in to standardise the flavour.

Bottled where it tastes its best
3 · Bottling

Bottled where it tastes its best

We bring each cask to the ABV where we believe its flavour and character show at their best - with no colouring or chill filtration.

Limited, and never repeated
4 · Availability

Limited, and never repeated

Once a cask is gone, that release is gone. No recreations, no repeats.
