Dailuaine The Managers Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Radiant amber-gold with coppery hues and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Opulent sherry-kissed aroma of dark fruits—raisin, prune, fig—mingling with toffee malt. Spices rise: cinnamon, clove, orange zest, over toasted oak and cocoa. A warm, resinous depth fills the nose, hinting at bold, lasting complexity.

Palate

Opulent and mouth-coating, this Dailuaine delivers a sherried, warming palate. Ripe plum, fig and raisin mingle with caramel, dark chocolate and orange zest. Cinnamon and clove weave through vanilla and polished oak, while a syrupy texture coats the tongue. At 58.6% ABV it remains bold yet balanced, finishing long with treacle, espresso, and dried fruit.

Finish

An expansive, lingering finish that slowly unfolds with raisins and fig, draped in dark chocolate and orange zest. Sherry sweetness threads through cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, while polished oak and a whisper of coffee bean linger, warming the palate into a long, noble afterglow.
