1974 Signatory Vintage Dallas Dhu Cask Strength 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Originally named "Dallasmore", the Dallas Dhu distillery was built in 1898 by Alexander Edward of the Sanquhar estate outside Forres. It featured a pagoda roof designed by Scottish architect Charles C. Doig. When ownership of the distillery changed to Wright & Greig Ltd. in 1899, it was renamed to "Dallas Dhu". Production began on May 29, 1899, and the first cask was filled on June 3.

Economic pressure and an unreliable water supply forced Dallas Dhu to close in 1983, and its distilling license was withdrawn in 1992. The last barrel was filled on March 16, 1983, although the buildings were re-opened to the public in 1988 under Scotland's Historic Buildings and Monument Directorate. Historic Scotland has operated the property since its establishment in 1992.

Dallas Dhu has been bottled several times by former owners, however these are hard to procure. This is sought after collector territory for those wanting to secure a colourful piece of Scotch whisky history.

One bottle only to sell. Distilled 1974 and bottled 1993 with an out- turn of 250 bottles. This is all the more exceptional for being cask strength. 60.8% Alc./Vol. NB - Minor creasing to the outer carton. Bottle in excellent condition.
