Port Dundas
Scotland's City Distillery
Looming large in the annals of Scotch whisky history – literally and figuratively – Port Dundas was built in 1811 and was one of the great landmarks of the city of Glasgow until it was demolished in 2011.
With its 138m brick chimney – once the tallest in the world and its elevated location at the highest point in the city beside the Forth & Clyde Canal in X, Port Dundas was a colossus of a distillery, producing around 40 million litres of grain spirit per year at the peak of its production.
Although the distillery is now silent, old bottlings can still be found and will undoubtedly become of increasing interest to collectors and enthusiasts as the years go by.
