Dallas Dhu 23 Year Old 1974 Signatory Vintage Single Cask #2597 Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1997) 70cl
1 of 230 bottles from a single cask bottled back in 1997. Power Rangers were the rage back then so that is how long ago. Distilled in 1974 when Mars bars were less than 10p.
Dallas Dhu is a ghost distillery. The distillery designed by Charles Doig is now little more than a museum.
This whisky is rarely seen, but when it does emerge from the shadows it shows a sweet fruited edge, some honey, oiliness and a wisp of peat smoke. Dallas, incidentally, is a hamlet close to Forres.
Dallas Dhu was the last of the Speyside distilleries to be connected with that great Victorian entrepreneur Alexander Edward [see Aultmore, Craigellachie and Benromach], the site for the plant being on his estate. In 1898, he hired the legendary distillery architect Charles Doig to build the new plant and a year later it was in full production. The year after he had sold it to the blending firm Wright & Greig, whose brand was Roderick Dhu. It passed into the hands of Benmore Distillers which became part of DCL in 1929. Wright & Greig itself followed suit and its old HQ in Glasgow would in time become the home of DCL’s engineering division. Like many distilleries, it was silent throughout the 1930s – it also caught on fire in 1939 – and wasn’t operational again until 1947. It was closed in 1983 and sold to Historical Scotland in 1986 who opened it as a distillery museum.
Strangely enough... Diageo own this "distillery". the name is somewhat of a myth but here it is in all its rarity.
