Dailuaine was at a time in the 19th century, Speyside's largest distillery, and it was home to Scotland's first pagoda roofed kiln. That distillery perished in a fire however, in 1917. The newly rebuilt distillery was acquired by DCL (now Diageo) who used its "meaty" spirit as a filler for their many blends. As with most of the single malt operations in the Diageo portfolio, the Flora & Fauna release was Dailuaine's first ever distillery bottling. Its single malt had been available in the form of independent releases like this in the preceding years though.
This single malt was distilled at the Dailuaine Distillery in 2016, it then matured in oloroso hogsheads for 7 years before being bottled in September 2023.
This is one of only 1006 bottles produced at a strength of 57.1% ABV by the Thompson Bros.
