Dailuaine 7 Year Old 2005 vintage Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. Matured in sherry butts and bottled September 2013 by Douglas Laing & Co. for the Single Minded series.
Dailuaine Distillery was established by William Mackenzie in 1851 at Carron in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside whisky region. In 1889 Charles C. Doig was commissioned by Dailuaine Distillery to design a new roof for its malt kiln and the commission resulted in the very first Doig pagoda roof being installed at Dailuaine Distillery. The design proved successful, was rapidly adopted by other distilleries and nowadays it is the iconic symbol of Scotland’s traditional malt whisky distilleries. Unfortunately, Doig’s original roof was destroyed during a fire at Dailuaine malt whisky distillery in 1917.
The nose opens sweetly, with a softly spiced, leather quality plus marzipan. The palate is rich and mouth coating carrying a caramelised fruit style and develops to chocolate praline. The finish is medium long, still sweet - running drier to tobacco, mocha and an orange tang.
