Dailuaine 16 Year Old 2008 Single Cask (Private Bottle) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Waves of funky, slightly overripe fruit and creamy grist open the way for notes of yoghurt-coated raisins, banana bread, and lemon drizzle cake. A touch of sawdust and toasted oak nestle beneath.

Palate: Vanilla cream, rhubarb and custard sweeties, then fresh bread and a touch of savoury oak. Fresh apples join in time, with sweet notes of cinder toffee, milk chocolate, and crumbly fudge.

Finish: The ripe fruit character carries right the way to the finish, with savoury, creamy notes of oat cakes and toasted oak balanced by sweeter hints of Bakewell Tart, pineapple, and buttery caramel.

Distillery Information

In 1852, William Mackenzie founded Dailuaine Distillery. Dailuaine derives from the Scottish Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’, named most probably for those elegant undulations of the Spey valley in which the Dailuaine whisky distillery lies.William had also been a farmer who worked in the Carron area. Following his death in 1865, William Mackenzie’s wife leased the distillery to a banker from Aberlour called James Fleming, who, with William’s son, formed Mackenzie and Company in 1879. Five years later an extensive rebuild commenced, leaving the distillery as one of Scotland’s largest. Another five years on and Charles Doig built Scotland’s first pagoda roof, which graced the distillery until it collapsed in 1917 after a menacing conflagration desecrated the buildings.
