2007 Signatory Vintage The Un-Chillfiltered Collection Dailuaine 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Here's another one of those distilleries that's been difficult to find for so long, it's now sought out by malt completionists. Derived from the Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’, William Mackenzie, a farmer from the Speyside town of Carron, built Dailuaine in 1852. After William passed away in 1865, James Fleming, a banker from nearby Aberlour leased the distillery. Between 1884 and 1887 Flemming rebuilt and expanded making Dailuaine one of the largest operations in the Highlands. Following a fire in 1917, the distillery was forced to close, but opened again in 1920. The second expansion in 1960 upgraded from four to six stills. Like many others, Dailuaine became part of industry giant Diageo circa 1998, leaving Dailuane bottlings largely to the independents. Signatory Vintage offer this middle aged expression from a pair of hogsheads as part of their non chill filtered collection. 46% Alc./Vol.
