Dailuaine is the Gaelic for 'the green vale'. The distillery, established in 1852, lies in a hollow by the Carron Burn in Banffshire. This single Malt Scotch Whisky has a full bodied fruity nose and a smoky finish. For more than a hundred years all distillery sup¬plies were despatched by rail. The steam locomotive 'Dailuaine No. 1 was in use from 1939 - 1967 and is preserved on the Strathspey Railway.

Heel licht gekleurde single malt whisky. Waarschijnlijk zijn de vaten eerst gebruikt om fino- of manzanilla sherry in te laten rijpen. Opmerkelijke neus, scherp, maar met water toegevoegd, (wat hem goedkoper maakt), ronder en fijn van smaak met zwavel, buskruit en moutigheid. Vervolgens specerijen en een zoetje. Ook ziltig en heel aan¬trekkelijk om uw etentje mee te beginnen in plaats van soep. Niet voor de beginnende single malt whisky drinker.

"Palo Cortado"

A First Class blending malt, this is uncommon, because it is in such demand by blenders (notable the Johnnie Walker stable). The largish distillery was built during the boom of the 1890s and at one stage in its carreer was owned by the owners of Talisker Distil¬lery.

We reacked this cask into a frsh sherry butt in 1977, and the benefits are imme¬diately apparent in the rich colour, heavy beading, and lovely thick, creme caramel nose. There is little sherry on the nose initially, just a hint of mosto, the grapa juice from which sherry is made, but when water is added a hint of luxurious Palo Cor¬tado (a dry oloroso sherry) emerges, along with walnut oil and chocolate oranges. This comes through the flavour, both at natural strenght and reduced, but does not dominate. The overall impression is dry and rich, clean and appetising.

We, the Tasting Panel, verify that the Scotch Malt Whisky inside this bottle has been

passed under some of the most scrupulous noses in the world and approved for re-

lease as a Society bottling.

Only single cask whiskies that promise to intrigue, entertain and delight our members

The nose mingles lemon halm, grass and flowers with sandalwood and leather, plus

very appetizing notes of hingerbread, vanilla, toffee apple and chocolate orange.

The palate is also tasty – sherry, coconut, mocha, chilli chocolate, toffee, caramel and some apple and spice.

The nose was powdered with garden fragrances (lemon balm, fresh grass, flowers, herbs,

saplings); we also found orange oil, sandalwood and leather – and some lovely appetizing

aromas that increased with water – gingerbread, chocolate orange, vanilla, toffee apple,

caramel, butterscotch and crème Anglaise.

The palate was appetizing, but in a dark, pungent way: our tastebuds tantalized by sherry,

sweet coconut, mocha, chilli chocolate, cardamom and clove.

Adding water sweetened it – the rich, syrupy soft caramel and toffee over baked biscuit

base dominating more delicate apple, thyme and angelica.

This sample. From the Spey near carron seemed older than its years.

Only single cask whiskies that promise to intrigue, entertain and delight our members

are selected, true to our motto: “TO LEAVE NO NOSE UPTURNED “.

The nose delivers Haribos, vanilla slices and pineapple humps, plus jasmine tea, cigars

and walnut oil. The palate has white chocolate, tinned pineapple, lemon drizzle cake

and gulab jasmun, chilli, tobacco and grapefruit. More attractive, perfumed and enjoyable with water.

The nose stimulated us with tons of Haribos (Dolly Mixtures for older generations),

vanilla slices, pinapple humps and cup cakes – eventually more complex – jasmine

tea, cigar boxes, walnut oil and flat – pack furniture.

The neat palate had plentiful sweetness ( peach juice, white chocolate, tinned pineapple,

syrupy gulab jamun ) – but never sickly, thanks to chilli heat and tobacco and grapefruit

bitterness.

The nose developed attractive perfumes with water (peach, jasmine, lily of the valley,

lemon cup cakes ).

The reduced palate was “satisfying”and “enjoyable” – sweetly citric, with caramelized

apple, lemon drizzle cake and ice cream, plus ginger pepper, mint and menthol to finish.

DAILUAINE

Carron, Morayshire. Licentiehouder: Dailuaine - Talisker Distilleries Ltd. Onderdeel van Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd. (S.M.D.). De malt divisie van United Distillers Ltd. Eigendom van Guinness.
Dailuaine betekent 'het groene dal' en is gesticht in 1851 door William Mackenzie, een boer te Carron en Rinnachat.
Aanvankelijk was het afzetgebied van zijn produkt de direkte omgeving, maar met het gereedkomen van de Strathspey spoorlijn in 1863, werd zijn markt vergroot.
William Mackenzie stierf in 1865, en zijn weduwe verhuurde Dailuaine aan James Fleming, een bankier te Aberlour.
Thomas Mackenzie, haar zoon werd partner in 1865, en de naam van de firma werd Mackenzie & Co.
In 1884 werd Dailuaine aanzienlijk uitgebreid en was nu één van de grootste distilleerderijen in de Hooglanden met een kapaciteit van 160.000 gallons whisky per jaar.

In 1891 werd Mackenzie & Co omgevormd tot The Dailuaine - Glenlivet Distillery Ltd.

In 1898 was er een fusie met The Talisker Distillery Ltd en men ging samen verder met de naam Dailuaine - Talisker Distilleries Ltd, Directeur en manager werd Thomas Mackenzie die ook Imperial inbracht, die hij in 1897 te Carron had gebouwd. Het aandelenkapitaal was £ 580.000. De groep had ook nog een graandistilleerderij te Aberdeen.

Met het instorten van de whiskymarkt, ingeluid door het frauduleus bankroet van de Pattinson's in 1899, ging het Thomas Mackenzie, net als zoveel anderen in de whisky-industrie heel slecht. Bovendien werd North of Scotland, te Aberdeen in 1910 door brand verwoest.

Thomas Mackenzie stierf in Maart 1915, oud 66 jaar. Hij was weduwnaar en zonder kinderen.

Er werd een reddingspoging ondernomen door zijn belangrijkste afnemers: James Buchanan & Co, Ltd, John Dewar & Sons Ltd, The Distillers Company Ltd en John Walker & Sons Ltd, die in 1916 een controlerend belang in de onderneming namen.

Toen deze ondernemingen in 1925 samen gingen in een vergroote The Distillers Company Ltd, werd Dailuaine - Talisker een dochtermaatschappij van de D.C.L.

In 1917 werd Dailuaine voor een groot deel door brand verwoest. Heropend in 1920 en ook uitgebreid. In 1924 had Dailuaine vier ketels.
In 1959 - 1960 werd er gemoderniseerd, waarbij ook de vloermouterij werd vervangen door een mouterij volgens het Saladin systeem, ook kwamen er twee ketels bij.
Er werd ook een veevoederfabriek bijgebouwd.

Het ketelhuis werd gemoderniseerd in 1965, waarbij men overging op met stoom verhitting. Het water komt van de Bailliemullich Burn, het koelwater van de Carron Burn.
De Mash tun is 11,5 ton, de drie Wash stills zijn groot 20,500 liter elk, de Spirit stills zijn elk 18.7000 liter. De produktiecapaciteit is 2,75 liter spirit per jaar. 2005 Kapaciteit 3.200.000 liter spirit per jaar
.
In 1851 William Mackenzie, farmer at Carron and Rinnachat, founded a distillery in a hollow by the Carron Burn and gave it the Gaelic name Dailuaine, "the green vale". Communications with the outer world were improved in 1863, when the Strathspey Railway reached Carron, on the other side of the Spey, and the present bridge was built over the river, which there abandons its leisurely course to surge rapidly seawards.
Mackenzie died in 1865. His widow, Jane, let the distillery for a term of years to James Fleming, banker, of Aberlour. Her son Thomas became a partner in 1879, trading as Mackenzie & Co. The lease was renounced and a feu charter was granted in 1884, when a major programme of investment began.
"Within the last few years", Alfred Barnard wrote in The WhiskyDistilleries of the United Kingdom, 1887, "nearly the whole of the Distillery has been rebuilt on a larger and more modern style, and the work now contains all the latest improvements in the art of distilling. The main buildings form a quadrangle, and there are three outer sections, all built of solid granite and of handsome elevation". Power was supplied by a horizontal steam engine of 10 h.p., supplemented by a water-wheel. There was one wash still, with two spirit stills of half its capacity. Dailuaine, with an annual output of 10 gallons, "sold principally in England and abroad", was already one of the largest Highland distilleries. Barnard was much impressed by the contrast between this "little world of industry" and its location "surrounded by all that is beautiful and lovely in nature".
The business of Mackenzie & Co. was converted into a limited liability company, The Dailuaine-Glenlivet Distillery Ltd., in 1891. This company amalgamated in 1898 with The Talisker Distillery Ltd., in which Mackenzie had a substantial interest, to form Dailuaine-Talisker Distilleries Ltd. Mackenzie was chairman and managing director. The company had a capital of £50, divided equally into cumulative 5% preference and ordinary shares, of £10 each. Besides Dailuaine and Talisker (on Skye), it owned Imperial Distillery, just built by Mackenzie at Carron Station, and a grain whisky distillery in Aberdeen. The merger took place at a peak of prosperity in the whisky business. Not long afterwards, a recession set in, and in 1910 the company traded at a loss. It suffered a series of misfortunes: heavily reduced demand, endless litigation, and the destruction of the Aberdeen distillery by fire.
Thomas Mackenzie, DL, JP, died at Dailuaine House in March 1915, aged 66. He was a widower and left no family. The executors of his trust put his large shareholding on the market, giving a consortium of major customers the chance to mount a rescue operation. James Buchanan & Co. Ltd., John Dewar & Sons Ltd., The Distillers Company Limited and John Walker and Sons Ltd. consequently obtained a controlling interest in 1916. All of these companies merged in 1925 to form an enlarged Distillers Company, of which Dailuaine-Talisker is a subsidiary.

He set-up – six large stills, condensers – suggests that a light style should be produced, but instead it produces a heavy ‘meaty’ make thanks to long fermentation, rapid distillation and the use of stainless steel in the condensers to cut down on copper interaction. That Flora & Fauna bottling (from ex-Sherry casks) shows this mix of richness and sweetness at its best.

At the end of the 19th century, Dailuaine was the largest single malt distillery in Speyside and also one of the most innovative in terms of design. It was built in 1851 by William Mackenzie and by the 1860s was being serviced by the Strathspey railway.

A complete rebuild in 1884 saw the installation of Scotland’s first pagoda on a kiln whose pitch was deliberately steep to minimise the contact time between peat smoke and drying malt, one of the clearest indications of how the old ‘Strathspey’ style was changing. In 1898, it merged with Talisker to form Dailuaine-Talisker Distilleries Ltd. The distillery perished in a fire in 1917, by which time it had become part of DCL. Saladin maltings ran from 1959 to 1970.

Dailuaine is also home to a dark grains plant and processes all of the spent grains from Diageo’s southern and central sites. If you see clouds of smoke rising from a riverside glen as you drive by the slopes of Ben Rinnes, that’s Dailuaine at work.

Dailuaine was severely damaged by fire in 1917 and re-opened, after substantial rebuilding, in 1920. By 1924, there were four stills, and electric lighting had been introduced.
The electric grid reached the Carron area about 1938, but was not introduced into Dailuaine until 1950. Until then, electric light had been supplied by a d.c. generator driven by a small triple-expansion engine. The conversion from steam to electric power was gradual. A second steam engine was used in the stillhouse until 1950/51, to pump low wines, feints and spirits. The third engine, a large Tangye, was the main source of power; it drove the malt mill and dresser, with all the associated elevators and screws, and was used as required to turn the mash tun, stirrers or draff pump, until 1960. A fourth steam engine drove the tun-room switchers until 1961.
An alternative source of power for the makings was provided by two water wheels which allowed the barley elevators, dresser and band, with the malt elevators, screws and kiln turner, to be used independently. These water wheels worked in tandem; one was sited next to the main engine - to which it could be connected during a drought or other emergency - and the other was about 200 metres away, by the burn. They were coupled by means of a continuous wire rope supported on overhead pulleys - an arrangement worthy of illustration by Heath Robinson.
A major reconstruction took place in 1959-60, when the floor makings were converted into a Saladin box system, the number ofpot stills was increased from four to six, and hand-firing of furnaces was replaced by a mechanical coal-stoking system. A plant was also built to convert the solid residues left over from the mashing and distilling processes into a high-protein animal feedingstuff. The stillhouse was modernised in 1965, when external heating of the stills was replaced by internal heating by steam from a coal-fired boiler, converted to oil five years later.
The drawing at the head of this leaflet depicts the distillery as it looked before the major re-construction of 1959-60.
For more than a hundred years, all supplies for Dailuaine - barley, coal, empty casks - and outgoing consignments of whisky, were despatched by rail. Barnard noted in 1887 that the distillery office was connected by telephone to Carron Station, and that a tramline was about to be laid down; but it took twenty years before Dailuaine, Imperial, and Carron Warehouses were linked by sidings to the railhead. An 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotive, made by Barclay of Kilmarnock in 1897, worked the line until 1939, when it was replaced by another Barclay engine, Dailuaine No. 1. Twenty years later, a retired BR engine driver described No. 1 as "truly a joy to behold", with well-cleaned paintwork and polished brass and copper. This much-loved distillery "pug" worked a five-day week, shunting rakes of three or four waggons, until the company ceased to use the condemned Strathspey Railway in 1967.

Dailuaine Distillery covers a site of 30 acres (12 hectares). Its process water comes from the Bailliemullich Burn, cooling water from the Carron Burn and steeping water for the malting from the Burn of Derrybeg. All of these streams are fed by springs on Ben Rinnes.

Dailuaine-Talisker Distilleries Ltd. owns 28 houses for occupation by employees, as well as Carron Mains, a farm of about 100 acres (40.5 hectares) originally leased by the Mackenzie family, and now managed by Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd. The main products are beef cattle and grain.

Diageo has announced that its 2005 Annual Rare Malts Selection will be the last.
The collection will consist of four cask strenght single malts from closed distilleries; Glen Mhor 28 years old, Millburn 35 years old, Glendullan 26 years old and Linkwood 30 years old.
Dr. Nicholas Morgan, global malts marketing director commented: 'As the Special Releases are now well established, it makes less sence to continue selecting and promoting a parallel series of Rare Malts with his own separate indentity'. In future, all premium and rare whiskies will be made available in the annual Special Releases series.

28 June 2011
Diageo has plans for a 10 million pounds to redevelop his Dailuaine distillery
to help increase the whisky production.

The plans would see an upgrade of the existing bio - plant at Dailuaine distillery
which deals with whisky by - products from a number of distilleries from the group
opening the potential for future production capacity increases in Speyside.

It is also possible that the investments could rise to about 20 million pounds to in-
crease capacity at other distilleries by more than 10 million litres per annum.

Douglas of Drumlanrig Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Distilled those many days ago, our selected Malt has matured in a cold dark, Scottish

warehouse until recent sampling has ensured its specific selection.

The independent and family owned company Langside Distillers have worked closely
with The Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry on his ever - increasing range of preve-
red cask bottling - all endorsed by his signature on this box.

Drumlanrig Castle is where The Duke maintains a 700 year Douglas Family Link with its
symbolic winged heart crest commemorating The Courage of Sir James Douglas "The Good "
killed in action conveying The heart of King Robert The Bruce on a crusade to The Holy
Land.

Within the Castle History abounds in every room. Distinquished visitors from

Mary Queen of Scots to the first "Moon Astronaut" Neil Amstrong, were all warmly welcomed,

but for
One - Bonnie Prince Charlie, retreating in hiss ill - fated 1745 Rebellion invaded the castle
with 2000 followers two days before Christmas. They killed 40 sheep, ransacked the wine
cellars and bayonets through a painting of King William IV. So much for the famous "45
Rebellion"!

Diageo has named Teaninich near Alness as the location for its plans to build a new 50 million pound new malt whisky distillery and will be adjacent the existing Teaninich distillery
but will have its own name and indentity and will have the capacity to produce 13 million litres of spirit p[er annum from its 16 stills. Diageo also invest 12 million pound in expanding the Teaninich distillery to almost doubless capacity.The site will also feature a bio - energy plant.The work will begin in 2014.

Diageo also will invest in Mortlach distillery in building a new still house and an other invest-
ment will be at Glendullan distillery to process co products in an anaerobic digestion process, producing bio - gas which will be used to power the Glendullan distillery.

There are also expansion and upgrade developments for more then 40 million pound in
Linkwood, Mannochmore, Glendullan, Dailuaine, Benrinnes, Inchgower, Cragganmore,
Glen Elgin, Glen Ord and in a new bio - energie plants in Glenlossie and Dailuaine.

In 2015 the fermentation time was changed to help archieve a more waxy character to the spirit. The reason for the change was that Clynelish distillery has been closed

for refurbishing. That is the only Diageo distillery so far that has accounted for this style which is so important for some blends.

During 2018 they will be doing flour short fermentation, 80 hours a week and 8 long = 107 hours amountin to 2,6 million litres of alcohol

Scotland: Diageo is to invest £20 million in its Speyside whisky facilities.

The company has submitted a planning application to Moray Council for the redevelopment of its Dailuaine distillery complex in Speyside. Consultations with local residents will begin this week. These plans would see a £9.5million upgrade of the existing bio-plant at Dailuaine, which deals with whisky by-products from a number of Diageo’s distilleries. The company said this would open the potential to up production capacity across Speyside.

Diageo is also developing other proposals, which would follow the Dailuaine project. The company said these other proposals would “see production capacity increased at existing distilleries by over 10 million litres per annum over the next two to three years” – the equivalent capacity to building a major new distillery – with an investment of around £10million. The details of these plans are still being developed and will be rolled out gradually over the next two to three years, subject to the relevant planning processes.

The Speyside region is home to 17 of Diageo’s 28 malt whisky distilleries in Scotland. Diageo’s recent investment in the region includes the opening of the Roseisle distillery - at a cost of £40million.

Bryan Donaghey, managing director of Diageo Scotland said: “Over the past six financial years Diageo has invested around £600 million in its business in Scotland, including our new £40 million distillery at Roseisle in Speyside which we opened last year. This announcement is another demonstration of our confidence in and commitment to the future of Scotland and Scotch.”

Diageo is also investing in scotch whisky growth outside of the Speyside area. This year will see £3.2million capital investment in increasing capacity at the Glen Ord distillery near Inverness.

Earlier this year, Diageo announced a £3.5million investment in increasing capacity at its Caol Ila distillery in Islay.
