I’m always thankful for getting to sample ghost distilleries; they’re neither cheap or easy to come by. This one was sent courtesy of @Generously_Paul. Port Dundas’ demise was a bit different than others like Brora , Rosebank, Karuizawa, etc. While those shut down due to economic downturns and moving away from single malts to blends, this one shut down rather recently in 2011 from a strictly business decision. Diageo decided to concentrate its grain whisky investment into Cameronbridge and not Port Dundas. Diageo leveraged Cameronbridge for blends, gins (Tanqueray) and vodka ( Smirnoff). The rest—-well, Port Dundas went to the wayside a while Cameronbridge flourished. Onto to the tasting:. Unlike @LeeEvolved below, I’m not enjoying the nose at all—-I’m getting a very grain-y industrial aroma. But for me, the palette is where it shines. You gotta let this one sit out a bit. A few drops of water, and flavors open up to a tropical fruit plate. Pineapple and coconut at the onset. Lingering finish. If not for the disappointing nose, a solid 4.5-4.75. I just couldn’t get past the industrial grain scent. But palette is amazing. Without smelling it and simply tasting it blind, I’d not guess this was a grain whisky. Palette for me is steps ahead of the nose. But more importantly, it’s something to cherish—-a ghost isn’t easy to come by, and for that I’m extra thankful to @Generously_Paul.
