1988 McC 23y

About

Dailuaine 1988 McC is a rare single cask from Speyside, bottled by Mackillop's Choice after 23 years of maturation. This whisky exemplifies the refined character of classic Speyside production, showcasing the depth and complexity that comes from decades in oak. The nose reveals an intricate tapestry of ripe fruit, honey, and subtle wood influence, while the palate develops with fruity and floral characteristics that balance beautifully with oak maturity. On the nose, fresh green apples, melon, and banana notes emerge alongside honey and grassy, waxy undertones. The palate maintains a fruity and floral profile with a measured, elegant structure and subtle wood sugars. The finish is relatively short but characterful, with grassy and waxy notes transitioning to a distinctive leathery aftertaste. This is a serious collector's whisky that rewards patient exploration.
