1982 Port Dundas 30 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Lowlands

Type: Single Grain

Bottler: Douglas Laing & Co.

ABV: 58.1%

Score: 93 Points

Bottled for the Douglas Laing Director’s Cut range from a single hogshead, this rare single grain has a vibrant and aromatic nose with melted butter, honey, peach pie, and a subtle grassiness. The taste starts off with buttered corn on the cob with pepper and salt, followed by hints of mango and apricot as the pepper slowly fades. The finish is long and fruity with mango, apricot, and a hint of grapefruit. This single grain tastes much younger than its vintage would indicate. (March, 2013)
