Dailuaine

Read more

Main highlights

Full-bodied with a smooth, smoky finish

Dailuaine is Gaelic for "The Green Vale". This distillery established in 1852 lies in a hollow by the Carron Burn in Banffshire. This single malt scotch whisky has a full bodied fruity nose and a smoky finish. For more than a hundred years distillery suppliers were despatched by rail. The steam locomotive 'Dailuaine No.1' was in use from 1939-1967 and is preserved on the Strathspey Railway. This single malt was released as part of the "Flora and Fauna" series, a collection of single malts from the more obscure and unknown distilleries in Scotland.

A complicated single malt whisky, full and sweet, yet also citric-fresh, that can impress mightily. An unusual combination of freshness and richness, this 16-year-old single malt whisky has a sherried style with a sweetness and a nuttiness that you can sit and savour.
