Dailuaine 2008 cask # 131 / 16YO / 54.4% / Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Region: Speyside

Cask: Pedro Ximénez Hogshead

Style: Pedro Ximénez Finish

Finish period: approx 2 years and 9 months

Colour: Mahogany.

Nose: Initially floral and fruity - peaches and red plums. Then come the heavier notes - praline and Macadamia nuts.

Taste: Lush, dense and somewhat intense…. Ooh yeah, it's the mocha, man! PX to the fore, this dram clotheslines you with a flurry of dark chocolate, espresso coffee and brown sugar, followed by a forearm smash of raisins and sultanas. Off the top rope comes Madagascan vanilla, before closing with a figure four leg-lock of sweet spice, cloves and black pepper.
