Adelphi - Dailuaine 2013

Dailuaine is a distillery that remains an unsung hero of Speyside, but is a regular on the Adelphi roster for good reason.

This 2013 vintage, matured for 12 years, showcases the spirit's remarkable quality.

The whisky was aged in a Refill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead (Cask #302796), allowing the distillery’s robust and characterful distillate to shine through while gaining layers of complexity from the cask. The refill nature ensures the sherry is complementary rather than dominant.

Bottled at a compelling cask strength of 53.5% ABV, this Dailuaine is described as being packed with character, depth, and complexity. It delivers the distinctive 'meaty' body and waxy texture for which the distillery is prized, perfectly integrating it with subtle fruit and spice notes from the long, slow sherry maturation.

This single cask release stands as a testament to the fact that Dailuaine, in the right hands, consistently yields some of Scotland's most satisfying and intricate single malts.
