Rare Auld Grain Dumbarton 1987 Single Grain Scotch Whisky 31 Years - Cask No. 10025029

⚠️ ONLY 9 BOTTLES REMAINING

Limited Allocation - Single Cask Release

When Dumbarton began distilling in 1938, it was the largest continuous distillery in Scotland producing grain whisky. It was also the first to introduce American-style stainless steel columns, rather than copper stills. Dumbarton's whisky was mostly reserved for the Ballantine's blend and was never officially bottled as a single grain. Dumbarton eventually closed in 2002. The buildings have since been demolished to make way for a new housing development, sadly including the site's iconic red tower.
