Port Dundas 2000 / 20 Year Old / Single Cask Nation Single Whisky

Gianluca Ferro — Solid but not quite special

7/10

Nice enough dram — creamy texture with some tropical fruit and oak spice. For a 20 year old single grain though, I expected a bit more complexity. At around £93 it's fairly priced but there are competing bottles I'd reach for first.

Luna Chavez — Lovely grain at cask strength

8/10

I grabbed this on a whim and I'm glad I did. At 58.6% it's punchy but add a few drops of water and you get waves of vanilla, toffee, and coconut. Twenty years in a single cask has done this grain whisky a lot of favours.

Samir Patel — Great value for 20 years

8/10

Under a hundred quid for a 20 year old cask strength whisky? Yes please. Port Dundas is gone now so these casks won't last forever. Sweet and grain-forward with honey and citrus on the finish. I'd buy a backup bottle.

Tyler Bennet — Single Cask Nation nailed this one

9/10

This is what single grain whisky should be. The nose is all butterscotch and ripe pear, and the palate delivers caramel, gentle oak, and a long warm finish. I drink it neat and it handles the 58.6% ABV beautifully without being a burn fest. One of my favourite SCN picks.

Kai Oliveira — A bit one-dimensional

6/10

Look, it's perfectly drinkable and the cask strength is nice, but after twenty years I wanted more going on. It's mostly vanilla and toffee from start to finish. If you love grain whisky you'll probably rate this higher than me, but I prefer something with more bite.

Ruth Banks — Pleasant sipper, nothing wild

7/10

Picked this up after hearing good things about the Single Cask Nation range. It's smooth for cask strength, lots of vanilla and light orchard fruit. I enjoy it on a single rock. Doesn't blow my mind but I keep going back to it, which says something.

Oscar Delgado — Hidden gem from a closed distillery

8/10

Port Dundas shut its doors back in 2010 so bottles like this are getting harder to find. The nose gives you coconut cream and baked apple, and it opens up really well with water. At 58.6% it's got plenty of punch. Shared this with a few mates and everyone was impressed.
