A little piece of history
This grain distillery was built in 1811 on the banks of the Forth & Clyde Canal in Glasgow. In 70 years time it would become Scotland’s largest distillery and due to its location, transport via water and rail made access very easy. Neighbouring distillery Dundashill would be incorporated in 1902. A large cooperage on-site and a huge pig-sty complemented the site.
The pigs were fed on the draff, a protein-rich residu after mashing. Those were the days. Owner Diageo decided to close the complex in 2010 and concentrated its grain whisky production at Cameronbridge from then on. The buildings were demolished and the huge landmark that Port Dundas once was, is forever gone. But, Saltire Rare Malt still holds stock of this lost distillery!
