The Port Dundas whisky distillery was built in the north of Glasgow in the early 1800s and began making grain whisky alongside malt whisky in the 1840s. By 1886, when Alfred Barnard made it the first stop on his epic distillery tour for The Whisky Distilleries of the United Kingdom, Port Dundas was making over 11 million litres of spirit per year and had already become a key member of the original Distillers Company Limited (DCL) grain whisky cartel.
Port Dundas was extensively damaged by fires in 1903 and 1916. The distillery was rebuilt both times, but production was sporadic until a further major refit after WWII, by which time Port Dundas was only making single grain whisky for DCL’s blends. Port Dundas was modernised and expanded again in the 1970s and had a production capacity of around 39 million litres per annum when owners Diageo finally decided to close the facility in 2010, the distillery’s Bicentenary year.
Hunter Hamilton was a subsidiary of the Douglas Laing independent whisky bottling company, which was founded in the 1940s by Fred Douglas Laing Sr and is now run by Fred Laing Jr and his daughter Cara. Hunter Hamilton was used as a trading name for various Douglas Laing whisky ranges but was discontinued following the departure of Fred Laing’s brother Stewart Laing to found Hunter Laing in 2013.
Hunter Hamilton was most associated with The Sovereign, Clan Denny and Glen Denny ranges of aged malt and grain whiskies. Famous Hunter Hamilton bottlings include a series of extraordinary ancient grain whiskies under the Clan Denny label, a Glen Denny 1966 Bowmore and long-aged Port Ellen and Caol Ila in the Glen Denny and Sovereign ranges.
