  ABV: 51%

  Despite being the oldest Loch Lomond we've stocked to date, the price remains modest. Having said that, it should be noted, this is a Single Grain, not a single malt. Yes, Highland Single Grain exists and Loch Lomond continue to market one to this day. Their official NAS bottling has taken out numerous awards including a Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition and Best Single Grain at the World Whisky Awards in 2017. The twist is that while this is created using a continuous still, Master Distiller, Michael Henry uses only malted barley, instead of corn or wheat or other grains typically associated with the category. So, it's essentially a Coffey distilled single malt, which explains why it delivers added complexity. Reports have it there may even be some peated barley in the mix. A truly intriguing offering from Cooper's Choice, but very limited. 51% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 258 bottles from one Bourbon cask.

  Normally Port Dundas comes to market at 20 years plus. Young but very, very affordable, this is another opportunity to experience Port Dundas on a limited budget. Although it closed its doors in 2010, indies continue to release glimpses into the glorious past of one of Scotland’s most respected and historic grain distilleries. The last time we tasted one at twelve years of age, it was a fabulous cask strength bottling from 'North Star'. This Cooper's Choice edition comes with a Caribbean twist: initially matured in Bourbon barrels, it was finished in a Martinique Rum Cask before bottling at a whopping 60.5%. The fruitiness of the rum should really complement the distillery style here. 300 bottles from the out-turn, also one of the last distillates Port Dundas turned out before closing for good. Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Fresh and vibrant. Vanilla and coconut with exotic fruits. Palate: Almonds and citrus. Overripe bananas with more vanilla and spice.

  Tasting note: [20ml sample] Distilled at the now closed Lowland grain distillery in 1991, this spent most of its life in an x Bourbon barrel before being finished in an Italian Amarone red wine cask. Patience reveals the full breadth of the bouquet, with an accent on vanilla wafer biscuits; later hints of dried cranberries. Melts like barley sugar in the mouth with caramel, oak spices and sticky date in tow. Feels slightly restrained for Cambus. Arguable if the finishing was for better or worse. 336 bottles from the outturn. 46.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the bottler... "Nose: Big and bold with cherry liqueur, coconut and brown sugar. Palate: Tropical fruits and bourbon. Coconut with subtle notes of figs and dark chocolate."

  $2760.00 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 52.5%

  Tasting note: [20ml sample] Like most single grains, this 1993 distillate spent its 26 years in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask. Snuffed candles and vapoury alcohol give way to notes of white chocolate, beeswax and dried coconut. A vague fruitiness adds freshness (plantain?) Zero alcohol flare with silky flavours of cream soda, sponge cake and banana bread. Cascades across the tongue. Hints of Bounty Bar through the finish. Very good grain. 52.5% ABV. Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the importer... Strathclyde is a grain distillery not too far from Glasgow that was originally built to produce Gin, but has since become an important producer of Grain Whisky for the enormous volume Scotch Blends. Strathclyde (to my knowledge) exclusively uses Wheat in their whisky production. Owned by Pernod, it is safe to assume a majority finds it's way into Chivas Regal products. Old grains are one of those super special things I find myself grabbing off the shelf more and more. Not only do they offer incredible value for money, they can be quite simply super silky with fantastic character of not just their cask, but also their base carbohydrate. The Cooper's Choice Strathclyde 1993, 26 Year Old arrived into Australia in our March 2021 arrivals. The grain whisky has spent it's entire 26 years in an ex-first fill Bourbon cask. The nose is spritely with a bit of fire showing from it's 52.5% ABV casks strength, along a touch of nail polish, vanilla and white stone fruits. The palate is extremely rich and silky. The oak at times is remincent of sitting in a carpenters workshop with the drop saw in full flight, however this is met and balanced by the rich, silky vanilla and spice notes. The fruit notes are more subtle on the palate, but certainly present: white peach, lemon and a touch of ripe banana. A perfect example of a great old single grain. 91 points - Simon Speir

  ABV: 50.7%

  It's been noted by at least one whisky writer that your best chances of securing new bottlings of old malts from closed distilleries are Caperdonich, Convalmore, Dallas Dhu, Imperial, Ladyburn, Littlemill and Pittyvaich. As independent releases become more erratic, the remainder have become the realm of whisky auctioneers. Several single grains including Carsebridge surely fall into the latter category. To our knowledge, this is only the third time an example has made it to Australian shores. Given that Diageo's 48 year old Special Release 2018 edition opened at well over AU$1000, this will be a no-brainer for collectors. We have imported a tiny quantity from an outturn of 210 hand-filled bottles from a single refill hogshead. Carsebridge closed in 1983 and was subsequently demolished. Although it was a large operation for its time, remaining stocks are now running low. 50.7% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Sweetly waxed immediately on the nose with cedar wood, rose water and hard candy. Palate-wise, there is early ginger biscuit and burnt orange followed by treacle toffee and toasted marshmallow – all neatly replicated on the rather 'home-baked' finish.

Laing's notes read: "A waft of burnt sugar followed by candied orange, boiled sweets and fresh wood shavings. On the palate, sweet biscuits with vanilla essence and creamy fudge. The finish brings a tingly spiciness plus a warm home baking quality." And yes, at 46% this is natural cask strength. Non chill filtered. Very limited stocks.

  Douglas Laing & Co. continue to secure and bottle a good selection of grains these days, some of which must be getting quite rare. There have been a few closed grain distilleries in Scotland: Carsebridge, Cambus, Dumbarton, Garnheath, not to mention the very rare Caledonian, one of the biggest of them all. Founded in Edinburgh 1855 and closed in 1988, 'The Cally' (as the locals called it) made its debut as part of Diageo's Special Releases in 2015. That bottling would now be selling for well over AU$1500.

  To our knowledge, this extraordinary 44 year old is the oldest expression ever offered from this dark horse distillery and one of the oldest single grain whiskies on record. Those in the know will snap it up fast. Distilled in 1976 (likely from majority corn) followed by maturation in a single refill American oak hogshead, Douglas Laing describe it as attractively spiced on the nose, running to molasses, muscovado sugar and cereals and with a similarly robust flavour profile. Bottled with zero filtration at natural strength, 218 hand-filled bottles are available worldwide. Highly collectable. 52.8% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.

  Garnheath is one of a number of distillieries that were commissioned in the 1960s, aimed at producing both malt and grain distillates, as it was seen as a cost-effective way for blenders to secure stocks for their own brands. Only seasoned whisky enthusiasts will be aware of the Garnheath project, which ceased production in 1986 after commencing in 1964. What remains are its warehousing, blending and office facilities as part of Inver House’s headquarters in Airdrie.

  Although undeniably obscure, this is also uber rare and highly collectible. We have one bottle only from the early days of Garnheath. Laings notes are as follows: "The nose delivers an incredible vanilla sweetness immediately followed by wood shavings and boiled sweets, the palate burst with fresh fruit salad, pineapple chunks in syrup and a honey'd cereal style. The lingering finish reveals sugar-coated raspberries with vanilla cream, oat biscuits and charred oak". 44.5% Alc./Vol. From a cask of only 124 bottles.

  Laing's single cask #13336 was distilled in March 1984 and bottled in May 2019. According to the bottlers, "The nose shows real tropical fruit character, coupled with all-spice and vanilla fudge.

  One of the last whiskies Cambus produced, barrelled just a few months before the distillery closed.

  Tasting note: [15ml sample] Reticent yet fresh on the nose; balsawood, sawn pine and oak shavings... the sugars creep in with hints of honeycomb and shortbread. Compared to other Dumangin bottlings, the ratafia input feels more pronounced adding a honeyed fruit-cake quality not normally found in grains. Intense, with the vanilla core giving way to sticky date and caramel fudge. One of the weightier Cambus bottlings to date. Extremely limited. 49.9% Alc./Vol. 310 bottles produced.

  Consistently on collector's radars, Cambus continues to routinely sell out. The most significant recent release was a $1K+ 40-year-old offered by Diageo in 2016. A roller coaster history that started in the early 19th century finally came to a close in 1993 as part of Diageo’s infrastructure reorganisation.

  Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Sweet pineapple and baked apple aromas are complemented by hints of beeswax polish. Soft cane sugar comes to the fore alongside white chocolate and vanilla pod. Taste: Soft black pepper and cocoa powder flavours lead to sweet, dried mango. Subtle notes of candied lime and mouth-warming ginger transform into fresh banana bread.

  ABV: 44%

  Very rare material on offer here, from the long closed Dumbarton plant, all the more unusual for its extraordinary age and the fact that this has been matured in a refill Sherry hogshead (almost all grains are x Bourbon matured). Well-aged Dumbartons are frequently off the charts when it comes to ratings for the single grain category. This is definitely one of the oldest, if not the oldest ever bottled. Expect notes of dark treacle, dried fig, toasted almonds and stewed fruit. 93 bottles only. Beautifully presented in a ridged heavyweight bottle housed in a veneered wooden box. 44% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Also known as 'Inverleven', Dumbarton was built in 1938, just south of the Highland border near Glasgow and for a while was the largest operation of its kind. Classified as a lowlander by Michael Jackson, production was predominantly set aside for the Ballantine's blends. When bottled by Indies, Dumbarton is typically the label for grain whisky. Inverleven the single malt, but it's not a rule. Nowadays stocks are "undeniably rare". The notable feature of the plant was its American-style stainless steel columns (rather than the traditional Coffey stills). A focus on maize, meant its spirit was rather heavy in character. In 1956 a third Lomond still was added with an attached rectification column designed to produce different styles of spirit. The distillery was decommissioned in 1985, though its column still was salvaged by Bruichladdich to produce its now famous 'Botanist gin'.

Flashes of cocoa powder surface throughout. Taste: Sweet yet spicy; white pepper accompanies fresh vanilla pod flavours. Candied citrus weaves into notes of caramelised brown sugar; toasted malt layers over mature oak undertones.

  A small quantity of this David Beckham endorsed single grain whisky has just arrived. TV producer Simon Fuller is also involved here (the man who launched the Spice Girls, created the Pop Idol franchise and has managed musical icons like Annie Lennox, Steven Tyler, Amy Winehouse and sporting heroes like Beckham). The bottle and embossed branding compliments the presentation of Beckham’s perfume range. Produced at Cameronbridge distillery, where the house style is light, clean and fruity, 'Club' was matured in a variety of casks.

  Other reviews... A confectioner’s delight; Fry’s Five Centres, lime, lemon, kumquat, iced buns, fresh mint, and crushed cardamom that matches the chocolate aromas. Those re-charred, rejuvenated casks are very much in evidence here. It has a gilded, satiny sheen, glistening with lemon drizzle cake, butterscotch, orange matchsticks, and banana bread. Incontrovertibly, it inhabits a signature grain style, but it fizzles out with a sticky, sweet aftertaste, like licking the spoon from the icing bowl. 87 points

  The Grandfather of the House of MacDuff grain collection is this 1989 Dumbarton. The plant was known for making a slightly heavier style, partly due to its stills and possibly due to a preference for maize rather than wheat but closed in 2002. Looking like sherry is playing a key role from first glance, but it's actually Bourbon(!), that in spite of the superb oloroso-ish aromatics that range through Seville orange, hazelnuts, high cocoa chocolate, dried plums, fruit cake and more. It follows through with elegant flavours of dried peels, rancio, aged muscat, salted nuts and fruit cake before a sticky-date finale that rebounds with walnuts, cinnamon and fine astringency. Miles away from the Lowlands, this is more like a perfectly mature Armagnac or a premium sherried Speysider (if Macallan or Glendronach was on the label you would be paying several thousands for what is on offer here). A glorious wood-aged spirit and a bargain for both drinkers and speculators, jump on it before the market wakes up. 127 bottles at natural strength of 47.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

  Invergordon is one of the big names in grain whisky in Scotland. Established in 1960, these days the plant produces top quality single grain for Whyte & Mackay. Indie bottlers, James MacArthur have sourced this all-natural expression, distilled in December 1991 and bottled in 2014 from a single Bourbon cask.

  Tasting note: Antique gold. Giddy wafts of alcohol require time to back off. Sweeter notes of creamy soda, caramel nib chocolate and vanilla fudge emerge through slightly bitter oak. Silky entry before the booming spices attack. Sweet cereal, peach and vanilla flavours gain momentum, creaming up the mid palate before a bittersweet, pepper-fuelled finish. Uncut, this packs quite a punch, but water brings it into balance, accenting creme brulee on the nose and fluffing up the palate beautifully while extending the length (add extra points to the score here!) It should please any one looking for a good introduction to single grains as well as value-seekers - given the massive ABV and the way this floats, it's like getting two bottles in one. Non chill filtered. 57.9% Alc./Vol.

  Bottle

  $2388.00 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 62.1%

  More and more Australian whisky drinkers are becoming familiar with Dumbarton as bottlings continue to trickle in via independents. A closed distillery that was famous for having an American-style stainless steel column still, this robust example is feisty on the nose and prickly to start leading into a powerful attack with flavours of Christmas cake and off-dry Guyanese rum followed by sweet leather before vanilla wafers and sticky date gain ground. The prickle and punch don't give up, but beneath that are some deeply satisfying notes referencing XO Caribbean rum or the oily, sweetly oaky qualities of well-aged Bourbon. An unusually full-bodied single grain, it's enhanced by a surprisingly high ABV. 182 bottles on offer. 62.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

  Notes from the bottlers... custard tart, brioche and dried apricot.

  ABV: 56.3%

  Drawn from an inventory of re-charred ex-sherry casks, this heavy distillate was re-racked into a freshly re-charred cask for added vanilla and honey notes. It's a curious Balmenach nose mixing marmalade with coconut, cocoa and oak shavings. There are some delicious bittersweet dark chocolate threads throughout the weighty middle, drying out and spicing up significantly at the finish. Otherwise a lush, straightforward and pretty explosive malt that will stretch out your dollar value with dilution. 54.5% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 318 bottles.

  Notes from the bottlers... coffee grounds, vanilla tablet and dried fruit.

  $2388.00 Dozen

  ABV: 46.9%

  Featherweight opening aromas need time to blow off acetone, revealing a prototypical grain that delivers the best of young and old; Vanilla biscuits, apple pie, creamy soda, hazelnut and distant milk chocolate notes come wrapped up in a silky texture reminiscent of drier-styled Guatemalan rum. It gets more buttery and textural with every pass. Thirty years in oak but refusing to admit its age, vibrancy is one of its most praiseworthy characteristics. The slightly heavier mouthfeel compared with other grains is due to the use of maize rather than wheat. 46.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 147 bottles. Fully matured in an ex-bourbon barrel.

  Notes from the bottlers... custard cream, liquorice and buttered pancakes.

  Royal Brackla is the third leg in Dewar’s single malt portfolio and the largest, yet probably the least well-known. Since Dewar's Master Blender, Stephanie Macleod realised that the new make is perfectly matched to sherry finishings, there's been a steady flow of new releases. Lady of the Glen continues that theme with oloroso and Brackla coming together in a harmony of honey, sweet spices and juicy dried fruits. Toasty cereals and dark chocolate complete the gently bittersweet finish. Holds its character well with water. 56.2% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 171 bottles.

  Notes from the bottlers... A fruity distillate with honey, malt and spicy notes. Matured for the majority of its life in a refill barrel then finished in an ex-oloroso sherry cask for notes of cloves, red cherries, ginger cake and cloves.

  Bottle

  $2999.88 Dozen

  ABV: 44.6%

  Once prized by blenders, Cambus was closed in 1993. Perfect gold in colour. The nose is on the drier side. Five minutes in the glass accentuates sweeter notes being lightly peppered with suggestions of sponge cake, fruit pastries, jelly beans, Bounty Bar and dried peach. Brisk, light entry; Somewhat bourbonesque. The mid palate amplifies the texture, becoming almost malty; follows with a rush of desiccated coconut, sponge cake and vanillan oak. Hints of dry curacao and peppermint confectionary revive the finish. If you tend to find grains overly sweet, this one should work in your favour. 296 bottles drawn from a single hogshead. 44.60% Non chill filtered.

  Other reviews... Nose: A complex mixture of creamy vanilla, chocolate powder, red fruits and paraffin wax develop to a marmalade on toast and freshly baked pastry character. All of this contained within a fruit orchard. Palate: Smooth and subtle entry with more body and mouthfeel than expected with grain whisky. Juicy raisins and sultanas in vanilla ice cream balanced with notes of honied spice and desiccated coconut. Finish: Fairly short but very moreish and refreshing. Now more spice led with hints of cinnamon & nutmeg dusted custard, dried banana and peppered oatcakes.

  ABV: 58.1%

  Tasting note: Normally matured in Bourbon barrels, Lady of the Glen take single grain whisky in a new direction with a twelve month finishing in oloroso casks. This Port Dundas shows a rummy aspect on the nose, followed by the usual grain vanillas, intensified by dried apricots and fig jam. Soft and sensual on entry with a burst of dried apricots and warming spirit. Sweet grain vies with oloroso at the finish which has a drying influence, almost clashing. Overall, the sherry gives the whisky a slightly 'maltier' feel and it works unexpectedly well - adding substance and interest to what might otherwise have being just another grain. 58.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 603 bottles.

  Notes from the bottlers... Rosemary & thyme, Dried apricots and Toffee and nuts.

  $1920.00 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 55.4%

  Tasting note: Built at the highest point in Glasgow on the banks of the Forth & Clyde Canal, closed in 2010 then demolished a year later. Port Dundas starts life as a light and sweet distillate with long barrel ageing slowly adding body and depth. The pretty deep gold colour is followed by a bouquet in turns volatile, peppery then soft and medium sweet. 2-3 minutes settles the focus on vanilla wafer, stewed peaches and cream, cinnamon and gobstopper, resembling a blend of pot and column distilled rums. Taste-wise, this is Bourbonesque with a rush of vanilla sponge, dates and Monte Carlo tea biscuits, the oak adding fine astringency. Not overly sweet, so extra points for balance. Caramel fudge and vanilla linger with the spices. A very satisfying grain that's beginning to throw off its youth. 156 bottles. 55.4% Alc./Vol.Non chill filtered.

  Notes from the bottlers... Vanilla wafers & oak, hazelnut praline and Sweet baking spices.

  ABV: 46%

  This is a kind of quasi 'single malt' having been distilled with heavily peated malted barley (rather than corn or wheat), but in a Coffey still rather than a pot still. Matured in a combination of first and refill bourbon casks, it promises a soft fruity flavour profile with creamy vanilla and wisps of smoke. Non chill filtered.

  Other reviews... more like bonfire smoke, rather than peat... just love that flavour explosion shock waves when the smoke and spices suddenly seem to wake to the fact they are there - and really let you know about it!... different, intriguing and beautifully weighted. Love it!

  ABV: 46%

  As Loch Lomond produce a wide variety of single malts, it should be noted, this is a Single Grain, not a single malt. Yes, Highland Single Grain exists and Loch Lomond continue to market one to this day. Their official NAS bottling has taken out numerous awards including a Double Gold at the World Spirits Competition and Best Single Grain at the World Whisky Awards in 2017. The twist is that while this is created using a continuous still, Master Distiller, Michael Henry uses only malted barley, instead of corn or wheat or other grains typically associated with the category. So, it's essentially a Coffey distilled single malt, which explains why it delivers added complexity. Unquestionably the perfect introduction to a very niche Scotch whisky segment.

  Other reviews... crisp sugars are willing to absorb the vanilla... The oak is something like most anchors at work: barely visible to invisible; Elegant grain; keeps the sweetness controlled. 93 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2021

  Notes from Loch Lomond... NOSE: Fresh cut barley fields with a malty edge, biscuity with baked apples alongside gentle lemon peel. TASTE Crisp and delicate.

  Even for seasoned whisky lovers, Loch Lomond remains one of the more mysterious distilleries in Scotland, partly because they produce such a variety of styles depending on the way they 'tweak their stills' and switch the condensers and similar devices on and off. While they make a wide range of single malts, it should be noted, this is a Single Grain, not a single malt. Yes, Highland Single Grain exists and Loch Lomond continue to market one to this day. Their official NAS bottling has taken out numerous significant awards including Best Single Grain at the World Whisky Awards in 2017. The twist is that while this is created using a continuous still, Master Distiller, Michael Henry prefers malted barley instead of corn or wheat or other grains typically associated with the category. It's our understanding that this is essentially a Coffey distilled single malt, which explains why it delivers extra body and mouth feel. Add Masam to the mix and you're in for a treat. Aromatically this hits all the right notes: Pure, deep and poised with a heady arrangement of gold rum-like sugars, high quality Bourbon wood, Bounty bar and sticky date pudding. That profile follows on the palate in a slow rush of Bourbon sugars dappled with honey-drizzled sponge cake, sweet spices and medium dry rum flavours. The mid palate richness is balanced by cinnamon and gentle astringency, followed by a lingering aftertaste of vanilla wafers and dried coconut. Drawn from cask No.42954, 182 bottles are available worldwide. 55% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Collectable.

  Notes from the importers... Nose: Green pears, ovaltine, mango yoghurt, bounty bar, turkish delight. Palate: Wood spice, dutch liquorice, bounty bars, anzac biscuit. Finish: Raspberry and vanilla.

  In whisky circles, it was thought that all the casks from North of Scotland were gone and spoken for. Yet, these very rare and very old bottlings are quietly being released on the Australian market. A now silent Lowland grain distillery that was also once also home to the Strathmore malt plant, North of Scotland was only active from 1957 to 1980. In its heyday it was considered one of the more flavoursome grain whiskies going around. Owner, George P. Christie made sure to include a higher than usual amount of congeners in the spirit cut. Its whiskies were found in many of today's internationally renowned brands like Chivas Regal, Ballantines and Teacher's to name but a few. The facility was sold for the last time in 1982 to Distillers Company Ltd. However, prior to that, it was producing large volumes of both grain and malt whisky. In 1957, George P Christie purchased Robert Knox’s Forth Brewery for £10,000 and quickly converted the building into a malt and grain operation. In 1958 North of Scotland started producing grain whisky from its three patent stills. Malt whisky was produced from copper stills on the same site under the name of 'Strathmore'. North of Scotland continued turning out grains until 1980, when Christie, then concerned with the over production of grain whisky, took the decision to close. The building is now used solely as a bonded warehouse by Diageo. As is typical for a grain, this edition was matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being bottled at 40.4%, apparently by a new generation of the Christie family. Collectable. Very limited stocks.

  This peculiar Indie bottling comes from the North British distillery, located just outside of Edinburgh. The distillery supplies famous blends such as J&B, Cutty Sark, The Famous Grouse and Johnnie Walker. North British never bottle whisky under their own label. So whilst almost any whisky lover would have tried a whisky to which North British has contributed, very few would have had the opportunity to taste it on its own.

  Tasting note: Matured in a Bourbon barrel. Pretty polished brass colour. Matchbox, oak shavings, empty barrels, then richer scents of fresh-baked sponge cake and custard before the bouquet dries repeating the woody / fresh-sawn oak notes. Evocative of young column still rum, this offers a lush, vanilla-soaked mouthfeel with notes of creamy soda, coffee flavoured milk and wood spices and an extended finish, achieving a fine balance between sweetness and vibrancy. 52.9% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 146 bottles.

Wheat is sourced from the east coast of Scotland, while water is sourced from on site bores. Gin and vodka are also produced, with three Coffey stills and one Patent still currently in action. The house style is light, clean, fruity and flavourful, providing the backbone for Diageo's blends, including Haig Club.

  Based in Glasgow, the historic Port Dundas distillery closed after Diageo moved the majority of its grain whisky production to Cameronbridge. It traditionally contributed to blends, including Bell's, Black & White, Haig, J&B, Johnnie Walker, Vat 69 and White Horse. This is a fabulous example from indie bottlers, "North Star", bottled at just the right strength.

  Tasting note: Drawn from a Bourbon hogshead. Flawless bright gold, beams from the glass. A complex and shifting bouquet hinting at dried grass, rice crackers and pepper along with suggestions of semi ripe banana, dried apricot, Indian spices and liquorice root. Surprisingly light on its feet. Waxy, oily, grain and toasted marshmallow flavours arrive with a mild flare of alcohol. Trace anise rounds off a prolonged, poised finish. The perfect opportunity to experience Port Dundas. 58.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Approx. 300 bottles.
