About this bottle

Even for Cadenhead's, this very rare bottle has an unusual story. The label is photocopied, with the core information poorly erased out and replaced haphazardly with 'Dallas Dhu.' There was also no neck tag, outturn numbers, tasting note or vintage date. We assumed this to be a poor fake, but after a bit of digging we realised we were wrong - our friends at Malt Review have the answer to this conundram: 'So when I heard a Dallas Dhu was being bottled by Cadenhead’s, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to experience a much-overlooked distillery. The arrival of this bottle is a little different to normal Cadenhead releases as it comes without tasting notes or outturn numbers. Earlier this year for its whisky festival, Springbank and Campbeltown have a series of events. Part of the appeal to visitors was the opportunity to purchase a specially bottled release of their own to mark the occasion. There were 2 casks on offer; namely a Rosebank and this Dallas Dhu. The Rosebank was the cheaper option and given the current Lowland fashion this sold out.

Evidently some of the Dallas Dhu was left in the cask and rather than having to re-gauge this or risk losing more to the angel’s share, Cadenhead’s bottled what was left as a wee special.'
