Dailuaine 14 Yrs

Very appetising dram. Perfect for after dinner.

Pleasant notes of warm, buttered bread with honey, vanilla and banana, emanate from the glass. A suggestion of stroopwafels packed in a tea box. With water a more distinct caramel note adds to the pleasure of
this very appetising dram. After dinner for sure, preferably to be enjoyed with a piece of dark chocolate.

Dailuaine was founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie. In 1916 a consortium of its customers purchased the distillery since William’s son Thomas died without heirs. These customers were blenders John Dewar & Sons, John Walker & Sons and James Buchanan & Co. That threesome would be amalgamated a decade later into The Distillers Company Ltd (DCL), the forerunner of present day Diageo. On the site is a beautiful row of old style dunnage warehouses that are no longer in use but serve as a landmark to the distillery. The malting floors are still intact but decommissioned for quite some time. Malted barley is bought in from a commercial maltster.
