Product description
Premier Barrel Selection from the Douglas Laing & Co. portfolio is one of the most impressively packaged whisky lines.
It comes to market in old-fashioned stoneware decanters, always accompanied by a short stanza referring to the specific whisky, expressed using alliteration. All whiskies in the Premier Barrel series are bottled naturally and without chill filtration at 46% abv. The Dailuaine 10 years old presented here is a single cask edition limited to 602 bottles (or rather stoneware). Diageo's Dailuaine Distillery is based in Speyside and, equipped with three pairs of stills, produces 5.2 million litres of distillate per year, almost all of which goes into the group's blends.
Nose : Christmas fruitcake, orange peel, raisins, cantaloupe, caramel, toffee, milk chocolate, roasted nuts and almonds, cinnamon, sherry and oak.
Palate : raisins and sultanas, candied orange peel, vanilla, marzipan, honeyed nuts, black tea, mulled wine spice and oak.
Finish: medium long, with notes of milk chocolate, dried fruit, almonds, Christmas spices and oak.
