This week we proudly announce the launch of our oldest release to date and first-ever single grain Scotch whisky.
A 20-year-old single grain distilled at the ‘lost distillery’ Port Dundas, finished in an exceptional virgin Japanese Mizunara Oak Butt, one of the rarest and most expensive oaks in the world.
Bottled at original cask strength, this Limited Edition release of just 558 bottles forms part of the ‘Lost Distillery Series’, a tribute to Scotland’s vanished whisky landmarks and the enduring legacy of rare casks left behind. The bottles will be available from 12th September 2025.
Ultra-Rare Virgin Mizunara Oak
Sourced from the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery in the Lowlands, this extraordinary single grain whisky was finished in virgin Japanese Mizunara oak - one of the most prized and costly cask types in the world, adored by collectors. Bottled at a natural 59.7% ABV, and free from chill filtration and artificial colouring, this limited bottling is a true collector’s piece and a connoisseur’s dream.
For the Port Dundas 20-year-old limited edition release, whisky lovers can expect a vibrant and complex profile: “Red fruit (cherries), cedar wood, waffles and maple syrup, warm leather” writes The Whisky Couple. “A nice, full and complex dram. A vintage convertible with leather upholstery and a wooden dashboard, basking in the sun with its passengers enjoying a sweet treat.”
Commenting on their oldest release to date, Founder Keith Rennie said: “The spirit of Saltire Rare Malt is defined by patience, precision and care. Every cask is meticulously nurtured and only released when it has reached perfection.
This latest release is a milestone - our oldest, rarest single grain, finished in the extraordinary Mizunara oak. It is both a celebration of the artistry of whisky-making and a tribute to the heritage of Scotland’s lost distilleries, a piece of history for collectors and enthusiasts to treasure.”
