Product description
Dailuaine Distillery was built in 1852 by William Mackenzie.
Its name comes from the Gaelic "An dail uaine" and means roughly the green valley. Today, the plant belongs to Diageo and, equipped with three pairs of stills, produces over 5 million liters of distillate per year. Despite such great distilling potential, the local single malt remains almost unknown, because about 99% of production is consumed by blends from the group's portfolio. The last relatively widely available official edition was the 16-year old in the Flora & Fauna series. The whisky presented here, distilled in April 2010, spent 12 years in a refilled hogshead cask no. DL 15921, and was bottled at 48.4% abv in the Douglas Laing's Old Particular series in June 2022. The edition consisted of 378 bottles.
