Dailuaine Balcarron Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Sherry-soaked richness floods the nose: dark plum and fig mingle with raisin, orange peel, and almond. Vanilla and toffee provide sweetness, backed by toasted oak. Cinnamon and clove spice the fragrance, with whispers of leather and cocoa completing a deeply aged, collectible Speyside aroma.

Palate

Opulent and sherried, the palate coats with dark raisin, fig and toffee, brightened by orange zest. Spices—clove and cinnamon—with a thread of black pepper ride over rich oak, delivering a velvety, warming mouthfeel. Long finish of chocolatey fruit and refined spice lingers.

Finish

Long, luxurious and warmly spiced, with dried fig, raisin and orange zest weaving through cocoa and toffee. Sherry richness lingers against toasted oak, finishing with a gentle peppery bite and a velvety, lasting glow.
