Port Dundas 13 Year Old Tasting Notes

Nose: A whiff of caramel fudge and Valencia oranges. Obviously, typical grain elements, such as pine tree and a subtle glue note. Unusual complex for a young single grain, waa-zoo! Wine acidity adds an interesting layer of depth. Honey and mowed grass.

Palate: Some woodiness of the hogshead. Brown sugar. Mexican guajillo peppers. The orange notes persist but are now accompanied by sea salt and chocolate.

Finish: A minty freshness is followed by the continuation of chocolate richness and marzipan sweetness, most definitely due influence of the Pedro Ximenez QC. What a superb single grain, elegant yet vibrant.

About this WhiskyDudes release

This beautiful 13 Year Old Port Dundas has been resting on a refill hogshead for most of its life, until finally being transferred by WhiskyDudes into a Pedro Ximenez quarter cask for a final 2-year maturation.
