Dailuaine 16 years Of. Flora and Fauna
The wine
A Dailuaine 16 year old from the Flora and Fauna range. The Flora and Fauna range was introduced in 1991 and followed in the footsteps of the Classic Malts range, which was introduced in 1988 and featured six single malts deemed to be the most iconic. Flora and Fauna offers a wider range of distilleries in the United Distillers group, with 22 single malts in total, including some less well-known malts that were generally reserved for the group’’s blends. The range owes its name to the famous whisky specialist Michael Jackson and refers to the labels depicting animals and wildlife. These bottlings have become difficult to find and many are simply no longer sold.
About the Producer Dailuaine
Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo
Founded in 1860, Dailuaine was quickly incorporated into the Distillers Company Limited, which saved a large number of Scottish distilleries from closure at the end of the First World War. From then on, it became a key component in the blends Buchanan and Johnnie Walker. Its name was also associated with that of the Talisker distillery, with which it formed part of the group Dailuaine - Talisker Distilleries Ltd. for some 15 years between 1989 and 1915. A trademark still by found by a lucky few on historic bottlings of Talisker. Bottlings in its own name are extremely limited and found in the ranges The Rare Malts Selection, Flora & Fauna and Manager's Dram. Notably, however, a superb limited edition was released in 1997 in the very brief Flora & Fauna Cask Strength range, a sherry cask 1980 vintage.
