Dallas Dhu 1977 First Cask 20 Year Old - 46% 70cl

In its time a key component of the Roderick Dhu blended Scotch, Dallas Dhu is a rarely seen single malt. As with much of the DCL (now Diageo) portfolio, the distillery was deemed surplus to requirements during the market downturn of the 1980s, and closed in 1983.

It is now run as a distillery museum by Historic Environment Scotland. Very few official bottlings exist, and it is incredibly sought after when rare independent bottlings appear.

This whisky was distilled on 20th May 1977 and laid to rest in single cask #1117 for 20 years before being bottled by Direct Wines and part of the First Cask series.

The First Cask range is a no-frills collection of independent releases, simplistically labelled but with a real focus on high quality cask selection.

The brand was produced by Direct Wines, a firm established in Windsor in 1973 and the casks are provided by Signatory Vintage.

Often sold in mixed cases through Direct Wines' global distribution network, these bottles can be found all over the world yet have retained the allure of being a relatively boutique label, with many examples incredibly sought after.

Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
