Product description
The history of Dallas Dhu, a small-sized distillery in Speyside (production capacity of 750,000 litres of distillate per year), covers the years 1898-1983.
A few years after the distillation was completed, the property became the property of Historic Scotland, a Scottish government-sponsored society that opened a Whisky Museum there. Although Dallas Dhu never saw an official single malt release, Gordon & MacPhail offered it for many years in their Distillery Labels series . The Dallas Dhu 1979 Vintage presented here, bottled in 2012, is one of the last releases of this whisky.
Aroma: fruity-floral, slightly waxy, lots of fruit, apples, plums, pears, honeydew melon, lemon peel, roasted nuts, traces of hay and peat smoke in the background.
Palate: initially sweet, with a faint hint of smoke, apples, oranges, sweet bread, breakfast cereals, lemon grass and a lot of oak in the finish.
Finish: quite long, a combination of fruit, nuts and oak.
