Stop number 100 on the SDT is Dallas Dhu. I figured I would mark the 100th stop with a (semi) closed distillery. As Lee stated, they only produce whisky for purchase at the end of their tours. This Highland single malt comes from the independent bottlers at Gordon and MacPhail, and based on the age and time the distillery closed, it’s been sitting around a good long while. Bottled at 40% ABV and is most likely natural color of amber and certainly is chill filtered being only 40%. Initially the nose hits you with lovely sherry notes, but soon it becomes apparent that sulphur is the predominant character here. Not so much fruity as it is sweet. Lots of butterscotch and toffee, vanilla and a little chocolate. A bit nutty, like bitter walnuts and some light oak. Not much after that. The palate is strange. Sherry yes, but lots of sulphur as well and a cough syrup taste. Intense vanilla and butterscotch, aromatic. Quite funky and odd. Slightly bitter walnuts. Not very complex, but the flavors that are present are strong. Medium bodied, very oily and mouth coating. The finish is medium long with sulphur, vanilla and it remains bitter. The nose was so promising at first with rich sherry notes, but it quickly devolved into a bitter sulphuric mess. No real complexity and nowhere near with the money. The price however is absolutely a reflection of the rarity of a closed distillery. The nose is the only thing that this guy has going for it, and it’s not even all that great. A 2.75 and thank to @LeeEvolved for the sample. Cheers
