Dailuaine 17 Year Old 2008 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl, 57.2%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep mahogany. This is a presentation-led inference based on the first-fill Oloroso cask style and product imagery.
Nose: Rich sherry, dried fruit, dark sweetness, polished oak, and warming spice. This nose wording is a careful style-led adaptation based on the cask type and release format because I did not find a solid official tasting sheet for this exact bottling.
Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated with dark fruit, treacle, cocoa, sweet malt, and structured oak spice. This palate wording is also an informed adaptation from the release style and cask details rather than a published official tasting note.
Finish: Long and warming with lingering sherry richness, dried fruit, oak, and dark spice. This finish wording is an inference from the cask style and available listing information rather than a formal official finish note.
Description
Dailuaine 17 Year Old 2008 Cask Strength Collection Signatory Vintage 70cl 57.2% is a rich and characterful Speyside single malt Scotch whisky bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of its respected Cask Strength Collection. Distilled on 9 April 2008 and bottled on 6 August 2025, this 17-year-old release shows Dailuaine’s naturally weighty spirit in a bold, sherry-driven style.
This bottling comes from a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt, cask number 3, and was released at its natural cask strength of 57.2% ABV. It is also listed as natural colour, non-chill filtered, and single cask, preserving the whisky’s full body, texture, and cask-driven richness. Only 660 bottles were produced.
Dailuaine is often appreciated by enthusiasts for its fuller-bodied Speyside style, and this kind of first-fill Oloroso maturation suits that profile especially well. The result is a whisky aimed at drinkers who enjoy dense sherried fruit, spice, oak, and cask strength depth in a more serious independent bottling. The flavour-style summary here is partly an inference from the cask type, age, and release format.
