This single cask bottling of a 12-year-old Dailuaine Single Malt was produced by the independent bottler North Star Spirits Ltd. from Glasgow in the High Proof Series and imported to Germany by Sansibar Whisky.
The distillery is located near Charlestown of Aberlour in Speyside. Founded in 1851, it has had a chequered history with many owners, a major fire and a complete rebuild. Today it belongs to Diageo.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
