Fable Chapter Three Dailuaine 2010 11 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (ABV 59.4%)

Introduction

The moon serves up a deep and brooding image from a distillery that flies under the radar.

The Dailuaine distillery takes its name from the Surrounding area literally meaning Green Valley. Its a beautiful location just on the edge of the village of Aberlour in Speyside.

The Dailuaine is bold in flavours. They create a unique combination of sweet and savoury that always combine to create single malts with great depth and complexity.

Nose – Green apple, bold, buttered burnt toast. Grassy and nutty with soft some spicy notes.

Palate – Swathes of vanilla and sweetness bolstered by toasted malt. Fruit strudel is accentuated by a thick and creamy mouthfeel, with baked apples coming to the fore. With a splash of water, grassiness bursts through to highlight the distillery character.

Finish – Sweet red apples and honey with some naked cereals and vanilla as this whisky draws to a close.
