Port Dundas 2009 GtDr

Port Dundas was a historic Scottish grain whisky distillery located in Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1811 on the highest point in the city adjacent to the Forth & Clyde Canal, it merged with the neighboring Cowlairs distillery in 1860, consolidating two Coffey still operations into one of Scotland's largest grain whisky producers. As a founding member of the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1877, Port Dundas played a pivotal role in the evolution of the Scotch whisky industry. The distillery became renowned for its exceptional grain whisky, which formed the backbone of many iconic blended Scotch brands including Johnnie Walker, J&B, and Bell's. Operated by Diageo until its closure in 2010, Port Dundas was one of Scotland's last remaining urban grain distilleries. Though the distillery no longer operates, its remaining stocks of mature grain whisky continue to be highly prized for their smooth, light character with delicate notes of vanilla, toffee, and soft spice, representing a significant piece of Scotland's liquid heritage.
