DUMBARTON 1987 AGED 30 YEARS

Built in 1938 on a former shipyard on the north bank of the river Clyde, Dumbarton was one of Scotland’s largest distilleries.  The distillery was decommissioned in 2002.  The distillery was well know for it’s unorthodox security system known as ‘The Scotch Watch’, which consisted of a over 100 geese!

This 30 year old, distilled in 1987, was aged in oak until 2017 when it was selected for bottling by Glasgow-based specialists Hunter Laing & Co under their Sovereign range.  Sovereign is a range of exceptional and old single cask, single grain Scotch whiskies.

The whisky is bottled naturally from the cask, without the addition of water, colouring and without chill filtration - a process used on commercial whiskies to prevent cloudiness appearing at low temperatures.
