  • Matured in sherry oak: 18 years in an Oloroso Sherry Hogshead bring depth, darker fruit notes and a noticeable influence from the cask.
  • Unadorned presentation: Bottled without added colouring, it shows its natural hue and an authentic, unfiltered style.
  • Cask strength enjoyment: At 56.6% ABV, this whisky arrives with plenty of power and suits drinkers who appreciate intensity.
  • Single cask by Elixir Distillers: Released as a single cask bottling under The Single Malts of Scotland, it is limited in number and distinctly individual in profile.

Portrait: What defines the Dailuaine 2007/2025 - 18 Years - Oloroso Sherry Hogshead #402496 (SMoS)

This Dailuaine is a fine example of what a well-aged Speyside whisky with sherry cask influence can offer. Distilled in 2007 and left to mature until its 2025 bottling, it has developed into a single malt that combines richness with structure, while still keeping its origins recognisable. Dailuaine is not always the most talked-about name, but it has substance – and that is exactly what makes such bottlings appealing to enthusiasts.

The Oloroso Sherry Hogshead has shaped the whisky over 18 years with a clearly defined cask signature. Rather than aiming for spectacle, the overall impression is focused and balanced: mature fruit, spice, oak and the familiar depth associated with sherry cask maturation. Elixir Distillers’ decision to bottle it without added colouring reinforces the intention to present the whisky as naturally as possible.

As a single cask release, this single malt has a strong sense of individuality. It is not a standard expression, but a whisky with edges, depth and personality – ideal for those who want to experience Speyside not only as soft and elegant, but also as bold and layered.
