Tasting Notes

Nose

Sherry richness, dried fruit, a gentle warmth. Eighteen years in sherry casks have given genuine depth to Dailuaine's naturally robust spirit. Beneath the sherry, dark chocolate, malt and a gentle warmth.

Palate

Sherried and robust — dried fruit, dark chocolate, a gentle warmth. Eighteen years and cask strength reveal Dailuaine at its best. Mid-palate brings roasted nut, toffee and a generous warmth.

Finish

Long, with sherry richness and mature oak.

Dailuaine 18 Year Old Special Release presents one of Speyside's most hidden distilleries at genuine maturity and cask strength. Eighteen years of sherry-influenced maturation reveal a depth and quality that the standard Flora & Fauna 16 can only hint at.

The additional maturity and cask-strength presentation transform Dailuaine. The naturally robust spirit, which can feel heavy at younger ages, becomes composed and rich at eighteen years.

Dailuaine 18 is proof that Scotland's blending distilleries contain exceptional quality waiting to be revealed. The cask strength and genuine maturity produce a Speyside malt of real distinction.
