Dailuaine 24 Year Old 1997 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 41.6%

Description

Dailuaine 24 Year Old 1997 Connoisseurs Choice Gordon & MacPhail 70cl, 41.6% is a mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from the respected Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice range. Distilled in 1997 and bottled in 2022, this 24 year old release was drawn from a single refill sherry butt, giving it a refined balance of fruit, spice and gentle oak maturity.

This bottling is especially attractive because it presents Dailuaine through the lens of careful independent maturation. Dailuaine is known for a weighty, characterful Speyside style, and here the refill sherry butt adds richness without overwhelming the distillery profile. The result is a composed and elegant whisky, offering fruitcake, clove, ginger, Seville orange, stewed apple, cracked black pepper and a lingering touch of aniseed.

With only 278 bottles released from cask number 11096201, this is a focused single cask expression with strong appeal for both collectors and drinkers.

Collector’s Note

This bottle has strong collector appeal because it is not a standard release, but a single cask Gordon & MacPhail bottling with a clearly stated vintage, cask type, cask number and outturn. These details make the bottle more traceable and more desirable for collectors who focus on independent Scotch whisky releases.

Dailuaine is also less commonly seen than many larger-name Speyside distilleries, which gives this expression added interest. The combination of 24 years of maturation, refill sherry butt influence and only 278 bottles makes it a serious and distinctive addition to a mature Speyside collection.
