Dailuaine 21 Year Old Special Release 2025 Marbled Treasures Single Malt Scotch Whisky 54.3%

Dailuaine 21 Year Old Marbled Treasures is a remarkable single malt that highlights the distillery’s deep and dark character in its most concentrated form. As part of Diageo’s Special Releases 2025 series, this edition has been matured exclusively in Spanish ex-Sherry casks, resulting in an intense and complex profile where the depth and richness of sherry take center stage.

The whisky presents itself as a true treasure – marbled in both structure and flavour, with layers of dark fruit, spice, and sweetness. The long maturation in sherry casks has created a dense and oily texture that glides across the palate and leaves a lasting impression of elegance and power.

The nose opens with dark raisins, prunes, and deep notes of coffee and dark chocolate. A touch of leather and spice adds complexity and gives the aroma a near-vinous depth, evoking thoughts of old cellars and well-aged casks.

The taste is rich and full-bodied with clear notes of dried fruit, caramel, and walnuts. Cinnamon and other warm spices unfold alongside the oily texture, and the balance between sweetness and spice is both precise and generous. This is a whisky that demands time and attention – and rewards both.

The finish is long, intense, and sweet with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of toasted oak that rounds off the experience with depth and warmth. Dailuaine Marbled Treasures is a whisky for those seeking something rare and rich – a sherry-driven single malt with great personality and a presence that lingers long after the final sip.
