  Dailuaine 10 years old Douglas Laing Premier Barrel Single Speyside Malt Whisky 46%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197279873

  Dailuaine has supplied malt to other people's blends for over a century without getting its name on the bottle. Douglas Laing put it there — and packed the whisky in a ceramic decanter.

  Expert description

  Dailuaine 10 years Douglas Laing Premier Barrel is a Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky matured in sherry wood and bottled at 46% without chill filtration and without added colouring.

  The release gave 602 bottles and belongs to the Premier Barrel range, in which Douglas Laing bottles single casks in ceramic decanters rather than glass. Dailuaine sits at Carron in Speyside and has since 1852 supplied a heavy, sherry-friendly malt that has almost entirely ended up in blends. Official bottlings are rare, which is why independent bottlers are the ones keeping the distillery name on the shelves.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Dark and round. Raisin, dark chocolate and orange peel, with a warm spiced note and a trace of nuts.

  Palate

  Full and malty. Dried fruit, cocoa and a lightly tart sherry edge, with cereal and a warm spiced middle. The 46% carries the sweetness without making it heavy.

  Finish

  Medium and dry, with nuts, malt and a faintly bitter cocoa note.

  Did you know?

  The Premier Barrel range comes in ceramic decanters with screw caps — a choice that shields the whisky from light and makes the bottle impossible to mistake for anything else. The decanters get collected in their own right, precisely because they look like something from another century.
