Dailuaine "Marbled Treasures" Aged 21 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 2025 Special Release

Dailuaine’s “Marbled Treasures” 21 Year Old from the 2025 Special Release is a show-stopping Speyside single malt crafted with rare patience and select casks. Matured for a full twenty-one years in Spanish ex-sherry casks, this expression radiates depth, richness, and refined complexity. On the nose, you’ll sense cherries and raspberries, red plums, figs and sultanas, toasted walnuts, leather, and a whisper of marzipan.

The palate is lush and mouth-filling, featuring notes of sticky toffee pudding, apple strudel, espresso, dark chocolate, roasted chestnut, dried fruit, and a subtle peppery spice. The finish lingers long with clove, nutmeg, walnut skins, dark fruit ech,o and a gentle mineral dryness that draws out the experience.

This is whisky at its pinnacle: bold in character yet elegantly balanced. Ideal for contemplative sipping or to mark a milestone—it’s not just a pour, but a story of time, wood, and Speyside craft.

Nose: Cherries, raspberries, red plums, dried figs, sultanas, toasted walnuts, leather, and marzipan.

Palate: Sticky toffee pudding, apple strudel, dark chocolate, roasted chestnut, espresso, peppery spice, and dried fruit.

Finish: Long, rich, and warming—clove, nutmeg, walnut skins, dark fruit fade, and subtle mineral dryness.

Pair with a dark cherry and chocolate tart to mirror its rich cherry-and-chocolate interplay. A baked fig and walnut bread pudding complements the dried fruit and walnut themes. For savory contrast, try roast duck with dried-cherry glaze or aged Manchego to bring out the nuts and wood-driven character.
