Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose is rich and aromatic with notes of raisins, figs, and baked apples. Underneath are hints of caramel, roasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a touch of polished oak – a deep, classic sherry profile.
Palate: Full-bodied and rounded with flavors of toffee, dried fruits, and orange peel. The Oloroso finish brings walnuts, cinnamon, and cocoa, balanced by Dailuaine's firm malt core and oily texture.
Finish: The finish is long, warming, and spicy with lingering sherry sweetness, honey, and roasted oak. A refined and powerful Speyside malt that leaves a lasting impression of balance and depth.
