Dailuaine Whisky 2001 by Masam Fragrances 15yo Vol.45% Cl.70

Rare bottle of Dailuaine 2001 Fragrances whiskey, bottled in 2016 by Masam and marketed by Moon Import in 2017 only following manual corrections of the labels and abrasion of the bottom of the bottle.

These corrections, the abrasions to cover the Samaroli brand make these few first Masam bottlings unique pieces ...

This Dailuaine was distilled in 2001 and left to rest in single cask # 65 before being bottled in 2016 under the supervision of the heirs and a year before Silvano's death.

Everyone knows the Dailuaine distillery which was built by Mackenzie way back in 1851, but they don't know the history of these extraordinary bottles of Masam whiskey.

Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent Scotch whiskey bottler.

With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskeys and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling and geography sometimes!).

Considered by many to be a visionary, his selections are among the best whiskeys in the world.

Many of his bottles now occupy well-deserved spaces in the pantheon of whiskey greats.

Since his death in 2017, the tradition has been lovingly continued by Masam, the bottling company run by his wife, Maryse Accorsi Samaroli.

After handing over the reigns of the Samaroli company to Antonio Bleve in 2008, he began bottling barrels from his personal collections with this Masam brand.

It will be the death of Silvano Samaroli, in 2017, and the subsequent disagreements and problems born between Bleve, Maryse and Moon import for the management of the Samaroli brand to dictate the abrasions and corrections of these bottles of the first Masam edition.

This bottle came directly from Moon import in January 2017, with supply agreement dated 06/10/2014, and is part of our personal whiskey collection.

Bottle # 075 of 340.
