Description
The bottler Brave New Spirits bottled this Dailuaine, an 11 year old, distilled in 2011, from cask 307376, bottled at 50.9%, one of 288 bottles. Dailuaine, whose name is Gaelic for the green vale, is a heavy, full bodied Speysider. A fire in 1917 destroyed the maltings, and the distillery was rebuilt soon after.
It was distilled for the heavy, full bodied spirit Dailuaine is known for, for a big, full Speyside spirit. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, vanilla and a soft honey behind the rich malt. Through integration spirit and wood marry, vanillin settling into vanilla as ethyl esters lend a riper orchard fruit over the meaty malt. The clean spirit shows the cask clearly, vanilla and fruit over a rich malt. The rich, full bodied spirit takes cask flavour well, especially sherry wood. It sits near Aberlour, in the heart of Speyside by the River Spey.
At its natural 50.9% it is concentrated. A heavy, malty fruitiness, with a soft vanilla from the oak. The texture is full and rich, the fruit lifted by a meaty malt. A long, full finish carries a savoury depth. This is one of Speyside's heavier single malts.
