Dailuaine 2012 – Bottled 2023 Cask #5052 Year of the Dragon Berry Bros. & Rudd Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of grassy, light green fruits fly out of the glass followed closely by tell-tale signs of thick, Sherry wood. Prunes, dates and spiced oak scale the olfactory senses.
Palate: The palate is rich and full, holding one’s attention but balancing between distillate-driven orchard fruits and heavier Sherry notes.
Finish: Spice roars across the finish building in intensity with a puff of wood smoke at the tip.
Distillery Information
In 1852, William Mackenzie founded Dailuaine Distillery. Dailuaine derives from the Scottish Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’, named most probably for those elegant undulations of the Spey valley in which the Dailuaine whisky distillery lies.William had also been a farmer who worked in the Carron area. Following his death in 1865, William Mackenzie’s wife leased the distillery to a banker from Aberlour called James Fleming, who, with William’s son, formed Mackenzie and Company in 1879. Five years later an extensive rebuild commenced, leaving the distillery as one of Scotland’s largest.
