Dailuaine 34 Years Old 1980

2015 Limited Edition Release
Lot #0270817
FINISH DATE
29 February 2016
A very rare bottling of Dailuaine 34 years old, the oldest (by a dozen years) ever released by the original distillers and is among the oldest recorded from any source. Distilled in 1980 and matured in refill American Oak Casks before being bottled in 2013, this is a release of 2,952 individually numbered bottles. This is the first official bottling in six years from a distillery that plays a key role in blends, bottled as part of Diageo's Special Releases 2015.
Dailuaine

Dailuaine is a well-respected distillery that was recently chosen by Diageo to cover the gap created by Clynelish’s refurbishment, as it shares a similar waxy character and this was amplified by maximising the fermentation time. Founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie it passes through the family until it is acquired by a consortium of blenders in 1919; blends such as Dewar’s, Black & White and Johnnie Walker. The rise of DCL in the 1920s led to the acquisition of Johnnie Walker and distilleries associated with the brand. Very little of Dailuaine is released officially and the distillery is closed to the public apart from special days during the Speyside festival. You’ll most likely see it with the staple 16 year old as part of the Flora & Fauna range or a 22 year old in the Rare Malts series from 1996. More recently was a 34 year old in the Special Releases range in 2015, or consistent support from independent bottlers.
