Dailuaine The First Editions Single Rioja Wine Cask #21215 Whisky 15 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
In stock
Bottled for The First Editions range, this Dailuaine was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2024 at 15 years old from single Rioja wine cask #21215. Released at a natural strength of 56.7% ABV, with an outturn of 257 bottles, it is a full-bodied Speyside single malt where the wine cask brings a darker, more fruit-led profile to Dailuaine’s naturally weighty spirit.
That style suits Dailuaine particularly well. The distillery’s robust character carries richer cask influence without losing structure, so the Rioja maturation adds colour, fruit and spice while still leaving the whisky with a firm, muscular core. The result is a bold and characterful bottling, with orchard fruit, berries and chocolate balanced by a savoury edge and a warming, spicy finish.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper highlights and a mahogany glow.
Nose
Sun-warmed orchard fruit—apple and pear—intertwined with ripe red and black berries and a veil of dark chocolate. A lift of orange zest and baking spices (cinnamon, clove) threads through, while a savory edge hints at Rioja influence and a bold, cask-driven richness.
Palate
Full-bodied and muscular, with dark orchard fruits and berries balanced by chocolate. Rioja-driven depth brings savory spice, while the weighty spirit maintains structure, finishing warm, spicy and long.
Finish
Long, warming finish with a savoury edge and peppery spice. Orchard fruit and berries mingle with dark chocolate, leaving a lasting, fruit-driven warmth that lingers with weight and character.
