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.
