scotch whisky Whisky
Gordon and MacPhail, Dallas Dhu 1969 50 Year Old
RRP £6,950
Dallas Dhu operated from 1899 to 1983. It is now a museum and well worth a visit. This whisky is a rare old expression and typifies Speyside whisky distilled in the 1960s. Starting out with strong aromas of sherry and beef gravy, on the palate the sherry persists and becomes more complex with floral notes and hints of tropical fruit. ‘Oud’ perfume coats the palate too. Towards the end there are violets, rose oxide and seared orange peel.
