1985 Berrys' Own Selection Dailuaine Speyside

Dailuaine means 'green vale' in Gaelic and is situated between Ben Rinnes and the River Spey near Aberlour. The Whisky is quite rare as a single malt as most of the production is used for blending. Fruit rind sharpness with some marmalade concentration is tempered by barley sugar softness and leafy smokiness drifting in through the cat flap. The peaty strain is evident immediately as the flavours start to joust. This is an interesting creamy smoky dram with real character.
