Dailuaine 14 Year Old 57.7% Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
This Speyside cask strength single malt has matured for 14 years in a 1st Fill Bourbon Hogshead, yielding just 299 bottles!
A nose of Werther's Original, butterscotch, and caramel toffee built on lemon meringue pie opens up to a palate with a definite citrussy edge, with some vanilla on the side. Boiled sweets with chopped hazelnuts in the finish. A slightly musty note in the overall experience adds to the enjoyment rather than distracts.

Distillery: Dailuaine
Dailuaine was founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie. In 1916 a consortium of its customers purchased the distillery since William’s son Thomas died without heirs. These customers were blenders John Dewar & Sons, John Walker & Sons and James Buchanan & Co. That threesome would be amalgamated a decade later into The Distillers Company Ltd (DCL), the forerunner of present day Diageo.
On the site is a beautiful row of old style dunnage warehouses that are no longer in use but serve as a landmark to the distillery. The malting floors are still intact but decommissioned for quite some time. Malted barley is bought in from a commercial maltster.
