CADENHEAD’S
‘DUMPY’ BOTTLINGS
Between 1977 - 1991, Wm. Cadenhead bottled high
strength, limited run small batch and single cask
whiskies. This series has harvested cult attention
with their distinguishable dumpy shape, simple
yet exemplary livery and exceptional vintages.
Affectionately known as Cadenhead’s ‘Dumpy’
Series, these bottlings are extremely sought-after and
increasingly hard to come by. These were produced
with brown glass and an iconic black label (white
for the occasional grain whisky), with each distillery
given its own letterpress font in homage to Wm.
Cadenhead’s early career in the printing business.
