Port Dundas 20 years old 2011 Release Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Port Dundas

“Very good grain whisky but for that price you can get real jewels.”

91
Port Dundas 20 year 2011 Release
The first ever Diageo Special Release of Grain whisky! From the 2011 releases, this Port Dundas really got people talking. Aged for three years in refill casks, it was then split up into equal parts and aged in either American oak Bodega casks, new charred European oak casks, or first fill American oak Bourbon barrels! The result is delicious!

This dram has a mahogany-like color.

Nose (91): strong. corn, honey, toffee, vanilla, spices, cinnamon, wood.

Palate (91): powerful, oily, creamy. corn, honey, floral, citrus, wood, pepper, cardamon. Slightly perfumed. It reminds me of rye whiskeys.

Finish (90): longer than average. corn, flowers, spices.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Port Dundas 20 year 2011 Release with 91 points over 100.
