Description

A delicious Speyside bottling from, in comparison to others, a rather obscure distillery.

A 16-year-old release from Banffshire distillery Dailuaine (Gaelic for "the green vale") for the Flora & Fauna range.

Dailuaine was at a time, in the 19th century, Speyside's largest distillery, and it was home to Scotland's first pagoda roofed kiln.

That distillery perished in a fire however, in 1917. The newly rebuilt distillery was acquired by DCL (now Diageo) who used its "meaty" spirit as a filler for one of their many blends.

As with many Diageo of the single malt operations in the Diageo portfolio, the Flora & Fauna release was Dailuaine's first ever distillery bottling.

Despite being a fan favourite, this is still the only permanent official bottling available from the distillery.

Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).

 
 

Tasting Notes

Nose: Thick sugar notes, boiled sweets, cereals, barley sugars. Rich cocoa powder and bitter orange but that later alters ever so slightly to reveal a sharper citrus note of lemon pith which is complimented by slightly dusty macadamia nuts.

Palate: Smooth and rich, warming syrupy flavours and a smokiness give way to lighter notes of tinned peaches and sponge fingers.

Finish: Nutty, almonds, oily, smoke, oak.
