Dailuaine 34yr

This item is archived.

Only on of 4 Dailuaine official bottlings ever released. This 34 year old, distilled in 1980 is part of Diageo's 2015 Special Releases. KWM is getting just 6 bottles. Bottled at 50.9% from Refill American Oak only 3000 bottles were released worldwide!

Distiller's Tasting Note:

Nose: Light and immediate, with citrus backed by rich, creamy toffee and grainy cereals. Fragrant and herbal too, with a perfumed top note joined by more detailed maltiness, with barley sugar and subtle peat.

Palate: Smooth textured at full strength; sweet overall, with fresh acidity and a saltiness unusual in Dailuaine, which develops as a drying, cough-candy note - deepening into dense and spicy dark chocolate-coated ginger.

Finish: There's a peppery tingle in the warming finish, which is oaky and herbal with dry, coating tannins.

Note: Only the fourth new official bottling and the first for six years, this is an outstanding and unusually fragrant example of this robust classic that has an unexpected spicy complexity.
