Port
Dundas
The renowned distillery of Port Dundas is nestled on the banks of the Forth and Clyde Canal, and shipped its distinct Scotch from Glasgow to ports across the world for nearly 200 years. Built in 1811, at the highest point in the city’s rich commercial history, Port Dundas became a whisky blending powerhouse. Eventually growing to become a distillery known for its distinctive sweet and delicate Grain character before it closed in 2010.
“Port Dundas was one of the finest Grain Whisky distilleries in the world and the rare expressions that we have chosen from our reserves are some of the most distinctive it has ever produced - their slow maturation allowing the delicate Grain character to blossom.”
Dr Emma Walker, Johnnie Walker Master Blender
