Dumbarton 42 Year Old 1964/2007 Celtic Heartlands 46.7% vol. 0,7l

Jim McEwan's Celtic Heartlands
Under this name absolute old exception barrels of different distilleries are filled.
Jim McEwan is a co-owner and master distiller of Bruichladdich, and a partner in independent bottler Murray McDavid.
This barrel was filled in beautiful glass decanters, marked with a Gaelic symbol.
The glass carafe is firmly embedded in a noble case covered with black imitation leather with magnetic lock, which is lined with black velvet.

Dumbarton
The Scottish Grain Distillery was the largest factory in Europe at the time of its founding in 1938 by Hiram Walker.
The building complex also houses the Malt distillery Inverleven.
Dumbarton produced most of the grain whiskeys for the blends of Allied Distillers, which includes the Ballantine's brand.
At the beginning of 2002, Dumbarton was shut down and production relocated to Strathclyde.
Unusually, but even more interesting, is the filling of a grain whiskey as a single, plus a single barrel with such an old age.

A true exception whiskey, with very nice, sweet aromas of maple syrup, roasted cashew nuts in honey and marshmallows.

This bottling is in cask strength and of course not cool filtered and free of dyes.

Bottled on Islay by Bruichladdich Distillery.
