Description

A 9 year old Dailuaine from the bottler Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, distilled in 2012, bottled at 47.5%, one of 1013 bottles. Dailuaine is a heavy, fruity Speyside single malt from near Aberlour. It had its own railway siding and a little locomotive, Dailuaine No.1, known as the Puggy.

Drawn off three wash and three spirit stills, for the rich, full bodied make Dailuaine is known for. Ex-Bourbon casks held it, the oak letting the heavy, malty character lead. Young and extractive, the cask sheds vanillin (vanilla) and toasted sugars (light caramel) over the heavy spirit. The cool Speyside air gives a slow, even maturation, the heavy malt deepening. The rich, full bodied spirit takes cask flavour well, especially sherry wood. The full bodied make rewards a long, patient maturation in good wood. Water comes from the Bailliemullich Burn, the spirit drawn off three wash and three spirit stills.

At cask strength 47.5% it is full bodied. A rich, full bodied sweetness, with a soft vanilla from the oak. Beneath it run dried fruit, malt and a savoury edge. A full, malty finish ends on dried fruit and a warm spice. This is a rich, dried fruit laden Speyside single malt.
