SCOTLAND CANE & GRAIN 2008 DAILUAINE 54.6%

Situated in Speyside, Dailuaine is also home to a dark grains plant and processes all of the spent grains from Diageo’s southern and central sites. If you see clouds of smoke rising from a riverside glen as you drive by the slopes of Ben Rinnes, that’s Dailuaine at work. Quietly producing over 3 million litres, predominantly for blends, it is rarely seen in single malt form…

Summary – A complex Speyside malt, combining sweetness and dryness

Nose: Apples (toffee apples if you imagine Halloween), caramel

Palate: Lovely viscosity and complex texture – being sweet yet dry

Aftertaste: the dryness of the initial taste persists long into the finish, earthy, yet sweet
