Dailuaine Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2002 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with mahogany and copper highlights.

Nose

Sherry-cask depth on the nose: dark fruits—fig, raisin and plum—intertwine with orange zest, burnt sugar and cocoa. Spices weave through toffee, vanilla and walnut-oak, with a hint of leather. Elegant, warming and inviting, it hints at a richly decadent palate to follow.

Palate

Velvety and richly sherried, this Dailuaine's palate opens with dark fruit compote—raisins, dates and figs—bound to cocoa, toffee and a hint of orange zest. Spiced oak, ginger and a whisper of leather weave warmth, delivering a long, luxurious finish.

Finish

Long, warming finish of dried fruit and cocoa, with coffee notes and a ribbon of spice. The sherry influence lingers—raisin, fig and a hint of orange zest—settling into smooth malt and polished oak as the memory slowly fades.
