- Description
- This 1997 Dailuaine distilled in March and bottled September 2009 comes from a single hogshead that matured undisturbed for 12 years, bottled un-chillfiltered to preserve its full character. The Speyside distillery's waxy, slightly herbal notes are layered with orchard fruit, vanilla oak, and subtle spice accumulated during its decade in refill wood. With only 384 bottles released, this is a rare snapshot of Dailuaine's traditional house style from the 1990s. Suited to collectors seeking authentic, cask-driven expressions.
