Whisky Blues No.093 Dailuaine 23 Year Old

The Whisky Blues No.093 Dailuaine 23 Year Old is a limited single-cask Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Dailuaine on August 20, 2002 and bottled by Whisky AGE on October 6, 2025. Matured for 23 years in first-fill bourbon barrel #29, it was bottled at cask strength of 57.0% ABV with an outturn of only 211 bottles. The long maturation combines Dailuaine's substantial spirit character with bright citrus, cream, honey and white fruit, developing vanilla sweetness, refreshing mint and peppery spice. 

Food Pairing: Pair with roast chicken, grilled pork, creamy cheeses, buttery croissants, vanilla custard, almond pastries, or citrus-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Rich yet lively, combining creamy bourbon-cask sweetness with citrus, honey, white grapes, vanilla, mint and a gently savoury edge.

Nose: Salted lemon soda leads into cream, vanilla-like ice cream sweetness and buttery croissant, followed by honey and fresh white grapes.

Palate: Juicy tangerine is balanced by sea salt and fresh mint, with creamy sweetness and a light herbal character adding depth.

Finish: Long and warming, with pepper, vanilla cream and lingering citrus supported by gentle sweetness.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass. At 57.0% ABV, allow it time to open before tasting; a few drops of water can soften the alcohol and reveal more citrus, cream and honey.
