Dailuaine is a Speyside malt whisky distillery that William Mackenzie, a local farmer, is said to have built in 1852 near Charlestown of Aberlour. In 1889 its kiln got the first of architect Charles Doig's ventilators, now called pagodas, and Doig was soon asked to build many more.
A punchy, jam-packed whisky with vibrant red fruits, herbal notes and black pepper, particularly impressive on the nose.
A precise, explosive whisky with lemon, chalk, tart citrus and fresh hay, finishing long, fresh and fat with a pleasingly soapy note.
A surprisingly successful “rosé whisky,” balancing raspberries, redcurrants, pepper and artichoke with a long, tart finish of aubergine, blackcurrant and blood…
An absolute killer, with rich mushroom and leek broth, growing umami, orange marmalade, and an extraordinary candied-pear finish.

An uncommon whisky with red berries, raisins and fruitcake, but its funky new-make character and lactic notes don't quite work for the reviewer.
