The Dailuaine distillery sits just north of Dufftown, and has been producing fine single malts for over 150 years. This 34-Year-Old bottle was released as a Special Edition in 2015 and is a truly exceptional tipple made for those who know and recognise superiority. It has a fruity, almost ginger tasting depth to the palate that lingers into leather-like, tobacco finish.
Flavour Profile: Nose
Pungent aromas from the start, with citrus zest & charcuterie. Bittersweet spice, dark moist fruit cake & gingerbread dominate with a faint clove spice & burnt cinnamon sugar in the distance.
Flavour Profile: Palate
Equally grand on mouthfeel, as the nose suggests. Rich malt, spice & now dried fruit cake coat the palate in a waxy fruitiness. Hints of pepper & chocolate coming later.
Flavour Profile: Finish
Magnificent balance between dry barrell char & sweet spices. Refined & indulgent.
