Port Dundas – 2004 18 Year Old Old Particular Single Cask DL16483 (70cl, 48.4%)

This is an 18-year-old Lowland single grain whisky from Port Dundas, distilled in 2004 and bottled in late 2022 by Douglas Laing for their Old Particular series. It comes from a single refill barrel, which gave 223 bottles at 48.4% ABV. The whisky is bottled without colouring or chill filtration, and is sold in a 70cl bottle. The official notes describe a nose of vanilla sponge with butter icing, giving way to hard candy sweetness. The palate brings custard creams, hot toffee sauce and spiced oak, and the finish carries vanilla, sweet corn and warm buttered gingerbread.
