should have put the here Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed



Originally to be called the Dallasmore in 1898, the plans for the new distillery, designed by local Elgin architect Charles Doig, caused much correspodence in the local paper, the Forres Gazette. This included some verses from a local councillor. The fillings were eventually advertised as Dallas Dhu in November 1899, when it came on stream. One of several distilleries on the land on the local laird, Alexander Edward. Who in 1900, sold the distillery to the proprietors of Roderick Dhu, a whisky blend popular at the end of the 18th century.
The still house was burnt down in 1939 and did not re-open until 1947. It closed in 1983 and the licence was cancelled in 1992. The distillery buildings were handed over by Scottich Malt Distillers to theHistoricBuildings and Monuments department of the Scottish Office who now run them as a model example of a distillery on the tourist trail.
It is still possible to get special bottlings from old casks, although supplies of the whisky are now dwindling. Dallas Dhu is a perfectly preserved example of what a small Highland distillery would have ben like at the end of the 18th century. Had its water supply been more plentyful, it is most likely that the distillery would have been one of those chosen for expantion had it still been in operation.

Dallas Dhu 10yo at 40%vol, bottled by Godon & Macphail

Colour:
Light Gold

Nose:
Spring meadows, flowery with some oak and peat fragrances

Taste:
Sweet, honey notes, syrupy with some spring flowers and some peat and smoke

Finnish:
Dry Oloroso Sherry, crisp and supprisingly long for this 10yo with some smoke and just a hint of oak.

Not sure this can be found any more and that is sad because it can compete well with today's popular malts, if you find it, snap it up.
