Cadenhead Small Batch Dailuaine 2004

This item is archived.

Dailuaine. We love to champion the underdog, but only when the whisky is worthwhile. Hence the reason why we bought an entire bespoke barrel of 2004 Dailuaine from the good folks at Cadenhead. When we found a second 2004 Dailuaine to partner up to our own cask we were delighted. Sadly, we've run down to just the last coupledozen of our own release. But maybe sadder still is the fact that we only have a handful of these ones left at the time of writing as well. With prices like these, it's worth nabbing one of each to do a proper head-to-head. 

Oh, yeah...did I mention that most of the distillery's output disappears into blends? It's a bit of a treat to find distilleries like this served up in small batch and single cask form.
