About this bottle
The Dailuaine 12 Year Old (1977) James MacArthur Miniature is a highly collectible vintage single cask malt, independent bottling. Because the Dailuaine Distillery primarily produces whisky for Diageo's blended brands, older single malt expressions from this era are exceptionally rare—especially at natural cask strength.

About the distillery
Dailuaine was founded in 1851 by a farmer named William Mackenzie in Scotland’s Speyside region. The name Dailuaine means “green valley” in gaelic, a fitting name for the scenic geography of the distillery overlooking the Spey valley.
Single malt bottlings have been increasingly more difficult to obtain under ownership of Diageo. Only a handful of official bottles are released occasionally. In fact, only 2% of distillery production is marketed as single malt. The majority is used for blending in Johnnie Walker.
