Port Dundas – 16 Year Old The Urban Vampire (Clan Denny) (54.4%)

A 16 year old single grain Scotch whisky from the closed Port Dundas distillery, bottled by Douglas McGibbon in its Clan Denny series at 54.4%. It was matured in a single refill cask and yielded 143 bottles. It is bottled with natural colour and without chill-filtration. The label tells of a vampire said to have wandered Glasgow in the 1950s, a tale that appears to be an urban legend drawn from an American comic. The nose brings a little banana and brioche buns with a touch of spice. The palate has brown sugar, honey and marzipan, then melon and a hint of banana and bread. Pleasant spices close the finish.
