A truly exceptions presentation and cask of the silent Dallas Dhu Distillery. Refill Sherry Hogshead #1656. Dallas Dhu 50 Year Old 1969 vintage Speyside single malt Scotch whisky. Single cask Refill Sherry Hogshead #1656. Distilled Tuesday 10th June 1969 & bottled 12th June 2019 by Gordon & MacPhail for the Private Collection series. Just 176 hand-blown crystal decanters have been produced.
Aroma: Aromas of rich fruitcake laden with plump raisins, sultanas, and orange peel. An elegant sweetness of candied ginger, almond marzipan, and treacle toffee. Wisps of wood smoke and tobacco linger upon a back drop of subtle oak. Taste: Toffee apples with fruit and nut dark chocolate flavours accompany mouth-warming cracked peppercorns. Spice sits in the background while wood tanins begin to take hold. Finish: Lingering and warming; roasted coffee beans evolve into a subtle herbal edge. Full of character with a crisp clean edge.
Dallas Dhu Distillery was designed Charles C. Doig and established by Alexander Edward in 1898. Dallas Dhu is situated near Dallas in the Speyside whisky region but having closed as a working malt whisky distillery in 1983 it is now in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and re-opened as a distillery museum. Most of its original equipment has been retained including two round wooden worm tubs and is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Gordon & MacPhail has released vintage bottlings of Dallas Dhu in recent years.
