I am pretty sure this is my first Dailuaine, a Speyside distillery that i mighy have tasted a lot in blends. It has suffered from nasty fires in the past, and it have changed owners as well, but from 1997 to this date, it belongs to Diageo. This one is part of what i can honestly say it is a very good whisky collection called The Ghost Piper from Clanyard Bay, from "Fable" the independent whisky bottlers. Pale straw color, bottled at 54.8%abv. A 12yo dram, this is from their first releases (chapter one). On the nose, it is one of the most lovely aromas i have ever had in a Speyside whisky. Honey cornflakes, hazelnut cream, Kinder Bueno, Lovely sweet aroma. Hanuta, light honey and Nougat. Stewed red apples dipped in dulce de leche. After a first sip, the dulce de leche note has gone amazingly intense. There is this green apple citric note. A crazy hand soap has appeared. It is an incredible aroma. It is like a honey chocolate cream. On the palate, it is not too complex but manages to deliver a nice experience. Hay, honey, almonds. A second sip revealed the sulphur and salty notes. If you hold it long enough you'll get a very clean apple note and hints of dulce de leche. Sawdust. The third sip returned to this hazelnut and honey flavor, then the salt hits. Aftertaste is great. Sulphuric, ashy finish, there is this ball of salt that cuts your lips in an amazing way. Super dry, woody finish on the second sip. This is a very good whisky. Ashy, honey, sólid dram. Overall, i feel that i have to buy a full bottle of this to have it in my house and share with friends. This is a shareable whisky, even if it is bottled at 54.8%abv, you don't feel one inch of alcohol. Incredible dram, with an "out of this world" nose, a normal palate and a very rewarding finish. My score for this great experience is 91 over 100.
