Dailuaine 1997 22 Year Old Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Single Cask #7244

Dailuaine was at a time in the 19th century, Speyside’s largest distillery, and it was home to Scotland’s first pagoda-roofed kiln. That distillery perished in a fire, however, in 1917. The newly rebuilt distillery was acquired by DCL (now Diageo) who used its “meaty” spirit as a filler for their many blends. As with most of the single malt operations in the Diageo portfolio, the Flora & Fauna release was Dailuaine’s first-ever distillery bottling. Its single malt had been available in the form of independent releases like this in the preceding years though.

This whisky was distilledin 1997and aged for 22years in a hogshead.

Signatory Vintage was established in 1988 by Andrew Symington and is one of Scotland’s most prolific independent bottlers. Their offices and bottling facility are located next to Edradour distillery, which they have also owned since 2002.
