2013 Dailuaine12 Year "Single Cask Nation" Skurnik Selection 1st Fill PX Sherry Single Barrel Cask Strength Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This release opens on the nose with Pink Lady apples layered alongside sticky toffee pudding and bright orange marmalade, with the sherry influence clearly present, adding depth and a rich, dark-fruited sweetness. On the palate, it leans into a dessert-driven profile, offering honey butter on whole grain toast, soft marshmallow, and warm banana bread, with a comforting, nostalgic note reminiscent of tzimmes. The mouthfeel is lush and full, with a rounded, velvety texture and mid-weight tannins that provide structure without overpowering. The finish is long and lingering, carrying a balanced, honeyed sweetness where the PX influence remains evident but never excessive. —Gabrielle Eisenman, Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio
