Aged precisely 17 years and 3 weeks, this Dailuaine was declined 184 bottles when it came out. Dailuaine is a little-known distillery owned by Diageo, and its official bottlings are very rare, so this is an opportunity to get to know it better. 

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

On the nose, pastry cream, brown sugar, nougatine, yellow fruits, buttered peaches, apple crumble with a pinch of cinnamon, stuffed dates. Orchard fruits, toasted cereals, hot caramel, crème brûlée, and subtle floral notes. Suave, rich and oily on the palate, creamy vanilla, icing sugar glaze, the fruit is more discreet, overshadowed by a delicate and smooth woodiness. Subtle spices. Long, explosive finish, damp bark, dry earth, braised nuts, cashews, dried apricots, hot chestnuts, a hint of lemon zest. Candied citrus fruits.

 

In Short, 

A beautiful expression, delicious and fruity, which makes your mouth water. Ideal for accompanying desserts, such as a gourmet coffee for instance. The price is very reasonable, as is often the case with Elixir Distillers, so fans of this profile can snap it up without hesitation.
