6 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 82.60 points

  1. schengel10 scored this whisky 84 points Connoisseur

    A mature, delicious single malt;

    [Color] bright white wine;
    • Nose
      fresh, floral, sweet (honey), distinct vanilla, pears, green apples;
    • Taste
      soft onset, lots of volume, fudge, caramel and vanilla, full-bodied, herbs, increasingly spicy;
    • Finish
      medium length, sweet and malty finish; in the finish oak;

  2. Hirschhof scored this whisky 83 points Member Senior

    I like it for its sheer simplicity. It sure is a shy cask and the result is a clean and typical Dailuaine. Subtle tobacco and smoke within the vanilla and syrup. It is definitely not very complex, still very good and so Dailuainish!

    - Color: light white wine, straw (OFS / NKG)
    => very bright for 21 years
    but it doesn't have to be bad
    (rather like that than cheating and coloring!) ;-)
    - a very nice combination of sweetness, fruit, oak and spice
    - Despite the 21 years of age, he unfortunately still has a somewhat (for me) dominant oak or spice, which remains very dominant at the back
    - at 70 € for a 21 year old single malt a great whisky and a really fair price / performance
    - Here you get an honest, strong single malt that is perhaps a below-average 21 year old whisky, but for the above price represents a really well-matured bourbon barrel storage and offers more than some NAS bottlings from well-known stills in the same price segment
    • Nose
      Freshness, sweetness, a lot of vanilla, fruity (green apple)
    • Taste
      mildly sweet start, becoming significantly stronger, toffee, vanilla, fudge, a lot of volume, spice is very dominant at the end
    • Finish
      medium-long, strong finish,
      long sweetish and at the same time powerfully spicy aftertaste

  6. LiquidThoughts scored this whisky 80 points Connoisseur

    Quite, very strange. Did I have a Fehlsample or vllt. what was in the glass or sample? Had very unpleasant notes (and few).
    • Nose
      Decay in the nose, very own aroma if you can call it that, something of coconut, liquorice, stall, modder
    • Taste
      The liquorice again, quite bitter, a rotten bounty, dark chocolate and strangely spicy oak, I think that's no more
    • Finish
      Medium long, bitter, a little bit dry, malt, oak
