This single cask bottling of a 25-year-old Dallas Dhu single malt was produced by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage. The whisky was distilled in 1982, matured in hogsheads and was bottled in 2007 with 283 individually numbered bottles.
Dallas Dhu was a distillery near Forres, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1898 by Wright & Greig Ltd. It was closed between 1930 and 1936, and in 1939 part of it was destroyed by fire but rebuilt. The distillery has been closed since 1982, but it was converted into a museum in 1988 and can still be visited today.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
