Dumbarton 1986 Scott's Selection

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.

This is a single grain whisky from the now closed Dumbarton distillery, and bottled by Robert Scott & Co. in 2011.
