Dumbarton 1975 Gordon and MacPhail Private Collection 45yo 44% 700ml

Dumbarton is a closed grain distillery, known for using American-style stainless steel columns rather than the traditional Coffey stills. Only using maize (instead of wheat or barley) meant that the spirit possessed quite a heavy character. Rarely bottled as a single grain, the overwhelming majority was used in the Ballantine’s blend. The distillery itself shut in 2002, and is now demolished.

Bottled in 2020, this is part of the Private Collection range from the Elgin-based bottlers. As 2018, this line replaced the Rare Old series as its most premium offerings, and come exceptionally presented in decadent glass bottles.

Distilled in 1975 and bottled from single refill sherry hogshead #34200. One of 93 bottles.

Alc: 44%
