The Single Malts of Scotland Reserve Casks are a flavor-led exploration of fine single malts, bottled in small batches of three to ten casks. Each parcel of bottles shows the variety of styles and flavors found across Scotland, and the differences in angel’s share depending on region. Bottled at a consistent 48% with no added color and no chill-filtration, the Reserve Casks are intended to suit the palates of both novices and experts alike.
A small batch of six hogsheads and one barrel from Dailuaine Distillery have been used to create this Speyside Single Malt, distilled between 2006 to 2011 and aged for a minimum of 10 years. This is a fruity, creamy whisky with bright citrusy notes.

Tasting Notes
Nose: A few slices of honeydew melon alongside warm toast with lashings of butter and honey.
Taste: Melon evolves on the palate into juicy pear with bright, citrusy notes, like lemon rind that has been zested across the glass. Vanilla cream with clusters of honey roasted nuts rounds out the texture and gives balance to the citrus.
Palate: The lemon zest finishes with more candied sweetness, like lemon sherbert. Almonds and hazelnut become more distinct and combine with orchard fruits to lend to the well known texture and weight of Dailuaine Single Malt.
