Fable Chapter Three – Moon (Dailuaine 12 Year Old) 70cl 57.8%

The moon serves up a deep and brooding image from a distillery that flies under the radar.

The Dailuaine distillery takes its name from the Surrounding area literally meaning “Green Valley”. It’s a beautiful location just on the edge of the village of Aberlour in Speyside.

We love the bold flavours from within the Dailuaine house style. They create a unique combination of sweet and savoury that always combine to create single malts with great depth and complexity.

Nose

Green apple, bold, buttered burnt toast. Grassy and nutty with soft some spicy notes.

Palate

Swathes of vanilla and sweetness bolstered by toasted malt. Fruit strudel is acaentuated by a thick and creamy mouthfeel, with baked apples coming to the fore. With a splash of water, grassiness bursts through to highlight the distillery character.

Finish

Sweet red apples and honey with some naked cereals and vanilla as this whisky draws to a close.
