About the distillery
Port Dundas
The Port Dundas Grain Distillery and adjacent Dundashill Cooperage, which manufactured Hogshead casks and dates back to 1770, are currently owned by Diageo, and the distillery's large Flue gas stack dominates the skyline of North Glasgow. It produced Grain whisky used in the Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's, Black & White, Vat 69, Haig and White Horse blended whisky brands owned by Diageo. On 1 July 2009, Diageo announced the closure of the Port Dundas distillery, with all production shifting to the company's other Scottish Grain distillery at Cameron Bridge, as well as the North British Distillery in Gorgie, Edinburgh, which is jointly owned by Diageo and The Edrington Group.

How Does The Buying Process Work?
Refer to our Cask Buying Process page for full details on how the process works.
At high-level, there are 3 easy steps: 1) cask selection and payment 2) buyer due-diligence and ownership transfer 3) after-sale.
I'm Confused With All This Cask Terminology
Check out our Cask Jargon and Myth Busters page here.
What Are My Options To Re-Sell My Cask In The Future?
We can assist in a number of ways when it comes to exiting your cask purchase, from bottling to re-purchase offer or by re-selling the cask via our auction platform Whisky Hammer. We can also prepare annual re-valuations of your casks to monitor value progress.
Whisky Hammer has exited close to 100 casks for existing clients, for a combined value which exceeds £1.4million – see our historic cask sales here.
Our extensive connections in the whisky trade (and with independent bottlers) help us to strengthen the final value of your cask. The exit/re-sale can be fully flexible to suit your needs – for example you may wish to bottle a certain number of bottles of your cask for family/friends and sell the remainder – our team can assist with any structure that best fits for you.
How Will Storage And Insurance Work?
We will store casks in our dedicated, private warehouse. We offer 2 storage options for customers - 'Standard' and 'VIP', refer to the 'Cask Buying Process' page for more information.
We also fully insure the casks for buyers on their behalf which is charged at an annual premium of 1% (+ VAT) of the cask value.
