A legacy that goes back to the heady days of blends and meeting rising demand in a bygone era, namely the early 1900's.
The Dhu in this blend was, and is, provided specifically by the Dallas Dhu distillery built in 1898 by Glasgow's Wright & Grieg.
Today, Dallas Dhu is maintained by Historic Scotland for the nation. Kept as a visitor attraction this is a recommended distillery tour with a unique approach - no longer in production you are left to explore it at your own leisure.
"Please note, due to age and evaporation some miniature may be short filler."
Nose: The presence of grain is quickly identified as the backbone of this blend with coconut, vanilla, whipped cream lurking in there somewhere.
Palate: Great as a starting point for anyone new to whisky. Not unlike the nose with the vanilla and whipped cream continuing.
Finish: Long.
