The Orphan Barrel Whisky Co. searches for rare whiskies
hidden away and nearly forgotten in the dark corners of
distilleries and rickhouses around the world,
releasing limited amounts of treasured liquids for periods at a
time. This 26 Year Old Single Grain Scotch Whisky is one of those
remaining stocks, from Port Dundas in Scotland. Set beside the canal on a hill
overlooking the vibrant city of Glasgow, Port Dundas was a
prominent local landmark established in 1810 and gifted the world
two centuries of exceptional whisky. Although it closed its doors
in 2010, there are rare remaining stocks that provide a glimpse
into the past of one of Scotland's
most respected distilleries.
Port Dundas was also home to a piggery with hundreds of pigs
during the distillery's most successful years. Legend has it that
these storied swine fed on spent, leftover malts (called draff),
and one particularly special prized pig named Muckety-Muck won over
passersby with his decorated wall of medals in the breeding
shed.
The three gentlemanly hogs on the Muckety-Muck 26 Year Old
bottle label celebrate the fabled prize pig of Port Dundas and the
trilogy of whiskies in his honor. Six variants of the bottle label
are available, with the three pigs proudly boasting a Scottish
tartan sash in either red, green, blue, gray, orange or yellow,
making the range of label variations a truly collectible keepsake.
This limited edition whisky and caricature are a tribute to
traditional Scottish culture and Port Dundas' beloved heritage
story.
The aroma of Muckety-Muck 26 Year Old starts with a burst of
caramel, fudge and baked sugar, backed by hints of fresh fruit and
berries. On the palate, butterscotch vanilla combines with notes of
toasted oak and a light fruity taste to carry through the finish.
The limited edition bottle is available in limited quantities at
select spirits retailers nationwide with an SRP of $299.99 for 750ml. Each Muckety-Muck expression
in its series is meticulously bottled with pride to ensure that
these rare whiskies are treated with the care they deserve…because
once Muckety-Muck is gone, it's gone forever.
If you're 21+, please drink Muckety-Muck 26 Year Old
responsibly. Muckety-Muck 26 Year Old can be purchased on
ReserveBar.com, Drizly.com or the Drizly app where shipping and
