Dailuaine 18 Year, a smooth textured, sweet and delightfully rich single malt with balancing fresh acidity and saltiness and warming herbal and drying finish. A rare Dailuaine released by Wilson & Morgan in 2016 after maturing for over 18 years. It was bottled at cask strength 53.50%. Dailuaine is becoming more difficult to find, get a well-aged bottle while it lasts.
About Dailuaine
Dailuaine was founded in 1851 by a farmer named William Mackenzie in Scotland’s Speyside region. The name Dailuaine means “green valley” in gaelic, a fitting name for the scenic geography of the distillery overlooking the Spey valley. Single malt bottlings have been increasingly more difficult to obtain under ownership of Diageo. Only a handful of official bottles are released occasionally. In fact, only 2% of distillery production is marketed as single malt. The majority is used for blending in Johnnie Walker.
Those that have the privilege of experiencing Dailuaine in it’s single malt form are never disappointed. It’s whiskies are very rich and full flavoured with tempting fruity Speyside notes. Each of it’s rare releases are enjoyed by both connoisseurs and novices alike.
