Brave New Spirits Cask Noir Ghost of the Hill Port Dundas 17 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Brave New Spirits Cask Noir Ghost of the Hill is a distinctive 17 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky from the now-closed Port Dundas Distillery. Distilled in March 2006 and bottled in April 2023, this rare Lowland grain whisky was matured in a single First-Fill Lafite Wine Barrique and bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.6% ABV.

Released as part of Brave New Spirits’ cinematic Cask Noir series, Cask #314746B produced just 307 bottles. The influence of the Lafite wine barrique gives this mature Port Dundas an unusual fruit-forward character, balancing rich sweetness with earthy complexity, toasted coconut and vibrant fruit.

Food Pairing: Pair with roasted duck, charcuterie, aged Gouda, toasted coconut desserts, berry tart or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Rich and distinctive with earthy undertones, red fruit, creamy sweetness, toasted coconut and warming spice.

Nose: Earthy and herbaceous with damp woodland notes, red berries, wine-like fruit and dense sweetness.

Palate: Full-bodied and creamy with liquorice root, toasted coconut, prickly pear, sweet fruit and warming spice.

Finish: Medium-long and increasingly fruity with lingering earthy sweetness and gentle spice.
