Description
Cask #B111/2. Dailuaine means “green vale” in Gaelic and is situated between Ben Rinnes and the River Spey. The whisky is quite rare as a single malt as most of the production contributes to blending.
Dailuaine
Dailuaine Distillery was established by William Mackenzie in 1851 at Carron in the heart of Scotlands Speyside whisky region. In 1889 Charles C. Doig was commissioned by Dailuaine Distillery to design a new roof for its malt kiln and the commission resulted in the very first Doig pagoda roof being installed at Dailuaine Distillery. The design proved successful, was rapidly adopted by other distilleries and nowadays it is the iconic symbol of Scotlands traditional malt whisky distilleries. Unfortunately, Doigs original roof was destroyed during a fire at Dailuaine malt whisky distillery in 1917.
The nose is soft and deeply perfumed with soft fruit. Barley-sugar sweetness combines with a firm smokiness to produce a full flavoured malt whisky with a lingering finish of considerable class.
