Dihuo Distillery, under the stewardship of Australian entrepreneur David Prior, has rapidly established itself as a rising force in premium whisky since its acquisition nearly three years ago. The transition brought industry legend Ian MacMillan to the helm as Master Distiller, whose 45-year whisky career includes shaping the character of three renowned distilleries during his tenure at Burn Stewart. In January 2019, MacMillan transitioned to establish his own consultancy, passing the torch to Nick Savage, formerly of The Macallan, who now guides the distillery's spirit after three years with that iconic Speyside producer. The distillery's commitment to experiential whisky culture culminated in the opening of its visitor center in July 2019, offering immersive journeys into its craft. Production facilities include a 5-ton stainless steel semi-lauter mash tun, six larch fermentation vessels employing both short (76-hour) and extended (100-hour) fermentation protocols, and a pair of carefully calibrated stills. With a 2019 production target of 6-7 mashes weekly, the distillery achieves an annual capacity of 600,000 liters of new make spirit. Dihuo's innovation extends to peated expressions, with small-batch heavily peated whisky production initiated in 2017, scaling to 45,000 liters in 2019. The cask inventory tells a story of heritage preservation: thousands of 1980s-distilled barrels were transferred under new ownership, with MacMillan personally overseeing the re-casking of compromised stock into pristine cooperage. The portfolio reflects this dedication to craftsmanship. November 2016 marked the debut release under Prior's ownership, introducing Samsara (no age statement), a complex marriage of bourbon and California red wine casks. The aged range features Adela 15-Year-Old matured exclusively in oloroso sherry butts, and Talia 25-Year-Old. The Talia lineage expanded with Port Cask 25-Year-Old and Bourbon Cask 27-Year-Old expressions. Commemorating the distillery's 200th anniversary, a 1988 vintage aged in moscatel casks and a 10-year-old bourbon cask maturation were released. The latest limited edition showcases a 17-Year-Old California red wine cask finish, continuing Dihuo's exploration of innovative wood management.

Had a dram earlier, quite curiously it reminded me of vanilla fudge and a touch of vanilla cream, with a hint of light caramel and sour cream. The young Lowlander side gave a gentle grains base, while notes of young Bladnoch, peach pie, muesli and a splash of crystallised fruits came through. A little camomile tea vibe lingered, and there was a whisper of lemony flavours and citrusy aromas. The finish was enjoyable, doesn’t lack body at all, with an extremely sour edge that kept things interesting. 😊

Ooh, this is a belter! 😋 First sip hits like a spoonful of warm porridge with a twist—hints of liquorice sneaking in like a cheeky mate, then bam! Fresh pineapple and lemony zing right up the nose. Tastes like someone’s whipped up a proper cake mix, but with that nice yeasty tang keeping it honest. The finish? Like a dollop of vanilla fudge melting on your tongue, balanced just right with a whisper of hay jelly and crystallised fruits. Not too heavy, not too light—just that cosy Lowlander vibe that makes you reach for another dram straight away. Lovely stuff, mate!

Well, this one's a bit of a surprise - not your typical young Lowlander at all. First sniff got me thinking of peach pie cooling on the windowsill, with a lovely vanilla cream topping. There's definitely that camomile tea thing going on, mixed with lemony flavours that are quite bright. On the palate it's rather bold, doesn't lack body at all. I get that Indian yoghurt to drink vibe, almost like a yoghurt sauce over fresh pineapple. There's fudge - specifically vanilla fudge - and some light caramel sweetness, but balanced with this creamy sour note, like sour cream on muesli. Funny thing is, there's hints of liquorice sneaking around the edges. The white wine influence is clear - probably from an empty white wine cask - giving it that citrusy aromas and making the sourness quite pronounced, almost extremely sour at points. Yet somehow it all comes together as a very nice blend. Finds itself somewhere between a cake and porridge texture-wise, with grains keeping it honest. Quite curiously enjoyable actually - just perfect for when you fancy something different after dinner. 🥃

初尝感觉挺清爽的,有点新鲜菠萝的甜香,混着淡淡的焦糖味,不会太重。接着喝下去,居然有麦片粥和谷物的那种朴实感,挺有意思的。 尾韵里居然有点桃子派和蛋糕的甜,还带一丝柠檬的酸,平衡得不错。杯底闻着好像有点甘菊和香草软糖的味道,很柔和。 说实话,这个组合挺有意思的,既有点酸奶奶酪的轻盈感,又有些大胆的甜味,但酒体一点也不单薄,喝完嘴里还留着些糖渍水果的余韵,挺享受的 😊
