Product description
Silver Seal Whisky Company, an Italian company operating since 2000, is considered the successor to the legendary Sestante, established in 1979.
Massimo Righi acquired the rights to both brands in 2010, after, as he admits, building up a two-year stockpile of whiskies. In recent years, there has been a lot of activity in the Silver Seal range, and the excellent selection of casks has earned the company a huge reputation. Dailuaine 27 years old is a limited edition of 210 bottles filled from a single sherry cask. The whisky is offered at natural strength (53% abv) and without chill filtration. Dailuaine Distillery lies in the heart of Speyside, between the Glenfarclas and Benrinnes distilleries. It is now owned by Diageo and, equipped with three pairs of stills, can produce over 5 million spirits a year. Dailuaine has been associated with Johnnie Walker blends for years and official single malt editions are rare.
