Our first Scotch is a 21 yr spectacular cask strength single grain from Port Dundas that sadly closed in 2011 – once the existing stores of Port Dundas are gone this tremendous elixir will go extinct.

Being the savages we are, we purchased a brand new Oloroso sherry quarter cask and used it to age over half of the Port Dundas for the last 9 months. The smaller size of the quarter cask accelerates the aging process (higher ratio of wood surface area to total liquid volume), imparting an oakier backbone and the rich fig & pistachio flavors of a first fill Oloroso sherry cask. Its deep copper hue will satisfy “Dark AF” fetishists (you know who you are)

Single Grain Scotches are growing in popularity (and price) as they combine the complexity and sophistication of Single Malts but with the approachability of American bourbons – which makes sense as the Port Dundas mashbill consists of American corn, barley and rye (much closer to bourbon than Single Malt Scotch’s mashbill of 100% malted barley).
