Description

This bottle of single malt Scotch whisky was distilled in 1979 but the distillery stopped bottling a few short years later. Luckily Gordon & Macphail undertook that job and made it possible to experience this exceptional whisky.

The Dallas Dhu distillery was built by Alexander Edward in 1898 and was origionally named "Dallasmore". The renaming to Dallas Dhu took place when the ownership changed hands in 1899 to Wright & Greig Ltd. They started producing whisky on May 29 that same year and filled the first cask on June 3.

With the closure of the distillery in 1983 and the revoking of their distilling licence in 1992 these bottles are hard to find and get ahold of. Since then there have been bottlings by former owners which allow these rare releases to see the light of day.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Luring citrus with some fruit cake, spices and some rich vanilla.


Taste: Fresh and fruity initially with influences of green apples and pears. Theres a beautiful peat with warm spices. Subtle hints of vanilla with white chocolate and a smooth creamy long finish.
