Cask: Bourbon Barrel

One of only 255 bottles

Dailuaine has been a favourite single malt of their family for over 100 years. Delving into his original order book, Finn Thomson discovered his 3x great grandfather Alexander Thomson purchasing casks of Dailuaine in 1903 for his blend. Today it is still highly sought after by whisky blenders across the country for its rich and nutty character, giving depth to the world's most famous blends.

For Finn Thomson though, it is a distillery that shines through on its own and is fast becoming his favourite distillery for selecting single casks from. This is the first Dailuaine they have released from a first fill bourbon cask. The bourbon influence is obvious from the start - vanilla and cream soda aromas explode from the glass. On the palate, the nutty flavours from the spirit dance with the creamy influences from the wood. At cask strength there is an oiliness and texture that makes each sip have a velvety mouthfeel. With a touch of water the sweetness develops and those trademark notes that make bourbon cas whiskies so popular are revealed.
