Title:

Description:
Vital Stats: 45% ABV, 90 proof, 24 years old, distilled at silent Port Dundas distillery, 100% single grain Scotch whisky, 750ml $247.
The term “single grain whisky” logically would seem to mean a whisky made of a single grain. But it’s not! It’s grain whisky produced by a single distillery. Single grain whisky can be any number of grains, and any number and variety of maturations.
This expression pays an interesting homage to a lesser known element of Port Dundas’ operation – its piggery. It’s actually fairly standard for distilleries to be homes for livestock, since distilling draff makes excellent feed. Around 400 pigs lived at Port Dundas, some of which were exceptional in size and so awarded their own prize cards. One of these pigs was Muckety-Muck, a special specimen whose medals and awards decorated his stall for all to see.
