Purchasing and delivery/collection 

The bottle is available to purchase for £50.00.  Given the limited number of bottles available, this release is limited to one bottle per member.

We will only process email orders.

When you place your order, please supply the following information;

  • If you would like to collect it from one of our Cadenhead shops
  • If you are based in Canada
  • If you have any other delivery preferences (not covered by the points above) then it may be helpful if you include them in your email order.

Once you place your order you will receive an email back letting you know that your order has been received and that a bottle has been reserved for you.
This may take several days. Please do not be alarmed if you do not hear back immediately.

If you wish for your Society bottle to be sent to a Cadenhead shop for collection only (Edinburgh, London, Berlin, Baden, Cologne and Odense) payment is required before your bottle is despatched to the shop.  The shops are not obligated to send bottles on to another address within their country although if this arrangement has been agreed with a shop there will be a delivery charge from the nominated shop.  We will contact you when your bottle is available to pick up.  There is no delivery charge for sending your bottle to a Cadenhead shop.

Similarly if you wish to pick your bottle up from the Campbelltown shop (we’re sure some of you will be in town for the Malts Festival!) payment is required when you have been notified that a bottle has been reserved for you.  Please also let us know if the Campbeltown shop is holding other bottles for you which you intend to collect at the same time.

Once again and finally we will only process email orders from Monday 9th April after the newsflash has been sent out.  No pre-orders will be taken. 

Slainte!

LOST DISTILLERY

PORT DUNDAS 43 YEAR OLD 1974 EXCLUSIVE GRAINS #71704

ABV: 47.1%
AGE: 43 Years Old
VINTAGE: 1973
CASK TYPE: Refill Hogshead
CASK #: #71704
BOTTLER: The Creative Whiskey Co.
REGION: Lowland
TYPE: Single Grain Scotch
VOLUME: 70cl

Port Dundas 43 Year Old 1974 vintage Lowland single grain Scotch whisky. Single cask refill hogshead #71704 bottled 2018 by Creative Whisky Co. for the Exclusive Grains series. 228 bottles.

Port Dundas Distillery was established by Daniel McFarlane in 1811 in the Port Dundas area of Glasgow. The area developed rapidly into an industrial complex which included three distilleries all named Port Dundas. The first was established in 1811, the second in 1813 and the third operated for just a short period during the late 1830s. In 1845 both operating distilleries were producing grain spirit and in that year both installed Coffey stills. In 1877 they amalgamated and by 1885 Port Dundas Distillery had developed into the largest distillery in the world and was processing corn and barley and rye, and importing grain from America. In 1886 the distillery was operating with two malt kilns and five grain kilns, thirty-five washbacks, three Coffey stills and five pot stills. In 2010 port Dundas Distillery closed and demolition began shortly thereafter.

1976 Carsebridge 40 Year Old “Old Particular – K&L Exclusive” Single Barrel – Scotch Whisky News

1331546x

1976 Carsebridge 40 Year Old “Old Particular – K&L Exclusive” Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky (750ml)

$249.99

While most whisky fans think of Port Ellen and Brora when the DCL distillery closures of 1983 are recalled, the company that would eventually become Diageo shut down a number of other whisky facilities that fateful year, including the Lowland grain operation known as Carsebridge. Originally founded in 1798, the distillery functioned as a cooperage after it ceased distilling, but even that process was ended in 2011 when the Diageo barrel operation was moved over to Cambus. Thus, with each drop of Carsebridge that is poured each year, what little remains of the distillery’s stock is slowly extinguished from Scotland’s grain whisky history, making each bottle that exists just a bit more rare. This 40-year edition, distilled in 1976 and bottled for K&L in 2017, represents the holy trinity for Scotch whisky enthusiasts: the combination of price, age, and rarity that historically has sent our customers into a feeding frenzy. Rich and round on the palate with the decadence of four decades in wood, this lively and vanilla-laden Scotch almost comes across like an American Bourbon with its big oak spices and 54% cask-strength proof. Laden with honey on the finish, the bold proof brings home the flavor for a minute-long finish.
