Step back into Glasgow’s whisky past with Port Dundas 35 Year Old – 1978 Vintage, Douglas Laing Director’s Cut. Distilled at the now-demolished Lowland grain giant and matured for three and a half decades in a single refill hogshead (#9729), this whisky was bottled in April 2013 for Douglas Laing’s premium Director’s Cut series. Presented at natural cask strength, un-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 260 individually numbered bottles reveal a satin-smooth tapestry of tropical fruit, silky vanilla and polished oak—an elegant echo of Port Dundas’s storied coffey stills.
