About this Chapter 7 Whisky

Dailuaine is a quiet, hard-working distillery that produces malt for Diageo blends. Only 2% of its output is marketed as single malts. You'll only find it as a single malt within the Flora & Fauna series, and thanks to Independent Bottler releases. Which is a shame, as Dailuaine produces a fat and meaty malt thanks to long fermentation, fast distillation and the use of stainless steel condensers.
