Dailuaine 8 Year Old - Premier Barrel (Douglas Laing) | 700ML

A delightfully festive single malt from Dailuaine, joining independent bottler Douglas Laing's Premier Barrel series! This eight-year-old expression matured in a single cask that finally yielded a total outturn of 348 hand-filled decanters, with some superbly seasonal touches to the label. A top contender to pop by the fireplace on Christmas Eve.

Distillery Information

In 1852, William Mackenzie founded Dailuaine Distillery. Dailuaine derives from the Scottish Gaelic ‘An dail uaine’ meaning ‘green valley’, named most probably for those elegant undulations of the Spey valley in which the Dailuaine whisky distillery lies.William had also been a farmer who worked in the Carron area. Following his death in 1865, William Mackenzie’s wife leased the distillery to a banker from Aberlour called James Fleming, who, with William’s son, formed Mackenzie and Company in 1879. Five years later an extensive rebuild commenced, leaving the distillery as one of Scotland’s largest. Another five years on and Charles Doig built Scotland’s first pagoda roof, which graced the distillery until it collapsed in 1917 after a menacing conflagration desecrated the buildings.
