18 - Fable Whisky: Chapter 3, Moon - Dailuaine 57.6% 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
"On stormy nights, when the moon was nearly drowned, eerie screams seemed to come from below them..."
The moon serves up a deep and brooding image from a distillery that flies under the radar.
The Dailuaine distillery takes its name from the surrounding area. Literally meaning “Green Valley”, it’s a beautiful location just on the edge of the village of Aberlour in Speyside.
The bold flavours from within the Dailuaine house style create a unique combination of sweet and savoury that creates single malts with great depth and complexity.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Green apple, bold, buttered burnt toast. Grassy and nutty with soft some spicy notes.
Palate: Swathes of vanilla and sweetness bolstered by toasted malt. Fruit strudel is accentuated by a thick and creamy mouthfeel, with baked apples coming to the fore. With a splash of water, grassiness bursts through to highlight the distillery character.
Finish: Sweet red apples and honey with some naked cereals and vanilla as this whisky draws to a close.
