📍 Charlestown-of-Aberlour, Speyside, Scotland
Dailuaine is a hidden gem in Speyside, famed for its rich, full-bodied spirit — a key component in many top blends, but also beloved as a single malt by connoisseurs.
🕰️ History and Legacy
Founded in 1852 by William Mackenzie, Dailuaine was the first distillery in 1889 to feature a pagoda roof designed by Charles Doig—an architectural symbol of Scotch whisky. The distillery is now part of Diageo.
⚗️ Production and Philosophy
The distillery is known for its heavy, waxy spirit, thanks to brief contact with copper and long fermentation. The whisky is often matured in sherry casks, which enhances its rich structure.

Known from Flora & Fauna 16 YO, Càrn Mòr bottlings and Diageo Special Releases.
