A richly textured Dailuaine 12-year-old cask, matured over 12 years in a 1st Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead.
Known for producing one of Speyside’s boldest and most characterful malts, Dailuaine pairs exceptionally well with sherry casks — and this example shows the distillery at its best. The first-fill Oloroso hogshead has delivered deep layers of dried fruit, dark sweetness, chocolate notes, roasted nuts and warming spice, while retaining Dailuaine’s trademark weight and structure.
At 57.74% current cask strength, this cask offers an excellent balance of richness, power and maturity. The flavour profile is full and expressive, making it highly suitable for a premium single-cask bottling aimed at sherry cask enthusiasts.
Reserved from a private parcel of stock, this cask was held back specifically for its depth and bottling appeal.
About Dailuaine Distillery
Founded in 1852, Dailuaine is a hidden gem of Speyside — well-regarded by blenders for its robust, meaty spirit and increasingly recognised by connoisseurs for its exceptional performance in sherry casks.
Its worm tub condensers contribute to a dense, flavoursome spirit that stands up beautifully to the richness of Oloroso maturation.
Typical Dailuaine characteristics include:
-
Bold maltiness & rich texture
-
Stewed dark fruits
-
Subtle meaty depth
-
Warming spice and structured oak
In a 1st Fill Oloroso Hogshead, these traits evolve into a deeply layered whisky with remarkable richness and complexity.
