product Details

Dumbarton 1961 Signatory Vintage 29 Year Old

Dumbarton is a closed grain distillery, known for using American-style stainless steel columns rather than the traditional Coffey stills. Exclusively 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.  

Distilled on 19th January 1961 and matured in casks #10277-10280.

Bottled by Signatory Vintage in February 1990, this is one of 1300 bottles. 

Signatory Vintage were established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and are one of Scotland's most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002.
