- Description
- Distilled in 2002 and matured for 15 years in a single cask, this Speyside single malt from Dailuaine shows the regional hallmarks of orchard fruit, honeyed grain, and subtle oak without excessive wood influence. The cask has imparted soft vanilla and baking spice notes while preserving the distillery's characteristic grainy sweetness and floral undertones. Medium body with a clean, dry finish suggests restrained wood contact—likely a refill cask—allowing the spirit to shine. Perfect for Speyside enthusiasts seeking balance and maturity without over-oaked heaviness.
