About this Pintail whisky

This 14-year-old Dailuaine comes from The Whisky Cellar’s Pintail Range, a label celebrated for small, characterful releases. Known as one of Speyside’s workhorse distilleries, Dailuaine produces a robust, meaty spirit that is rarely seen as a single malt but plays a key role in famous blends. When bottled independently, however, its distinctive weight and depth shine, especially when paired with sherry casks.

This release has been matured in a rare Palo Cortado sherry barrel, a style of sherry that sits intriguingly between the richness of Oloroso and the elegance of Amontillado. The influence brings savoury nuttiness, subtle salinity, and a delicate oxidative complexity to the whisky.

In the glass, the whisky gleams antique gold. The nose opens with yellow sultanas, dried apricots, and toffee crunch cookies lifted by toasted oak. The palate is indulgent and layered, offering cinnamon buns, California raisins, heather honey, burnt pastry, buttery sourdough, and warming cake spice. The finish is long and elegant, with honey-drizzled fruits, candied citrus peel, and polished oak.

Bottled at 54.2%, natural in colour and without chill filtration, this limited outturn of just 81 bottles captures both the muscular Speyside style of Dailuaine and the refined depth of Palo Cortado maturation. A rare and luxurious dram for the sherried whisky enthusiast.
