Port Dundas: Founded: Malt: 1811/1813, Grain: 1845 Pronunciation: “Port Döndas” Meaning: “Port of Dundas” Status: closed in 2010

Port Dundas was located in the district of the same name in Glasgow, right on the Forth and Clyde Canal. In 1811, a distillery was opened by D. MacFarlane, and in 1813, another one by Brown, Goulie & Co., both named Port Dundas. Both also began grain production in 1845. In 1865, the two distilleries were merged. From 1913, after a 10-year reconstruction following a massive fire, only grain whisky was produced. In 1977, the distillery was expanded, and a livestock feed company was added to handle the distillery waste. The nearby Dundashill Cooperage provided the necessary casks. In 2009, Diageo, the owner at the time, announced that the distillery would close in 2010.

The whisky’s style is light and sweet, with biscuit aromas.
