Insider knowledge: Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Aromatic, toffee, fruit salad, lush nectarine, custard. Floral, apple blossom, honeysuckle. Apple peels, pear, touch of smoke.Palate: Malty. Walnuts steeped in manuka honey with vanilla sponge. Gentle smoke weaves its way through the cereal with a touch of spice. Finish: Long, malty, walnut, almond.

Bought this a few weeks ago,I wish I`d discovered it earlier ! This is a very easy to drink whisky.A gentle sweetness on the finish and a nose with a hint of creamy toffee.The only reason I have not given it 10 is because I have many whisky drinking years in front of me and want to keep seeking "10"
A Taste of the Highlands
From the highest distillery in Scotland this malt remains a marvel. Always classy, never overpowering, with overtones of apples, pears, orange peel and honey. The slightest of smoke and a nutty finish completes the experience. Well worth a visit and just off the main road to the Highlands.
The Best There Is @ This Price
Cannot seriousley be bettered - my last bottle just £23.00 from my local supermarket.
v Iislay malts
I tried this 15 and found it smooth on the nose with spirit and sweetness and balanced floral like crysthymums( don't believed I typed that , but sharp, fragrant and floral it is) plus medium flavours of salt, smoke and sweet tastes of vanilla and honey. I tried tasting Laphroig 10 and Bowmore Legend after a dram of this and they seemed a bit brash and rough by comparison (different style I know, but Islay malts have maybe distracted many from other malts). This is a good dram, it includes lots of flavours in a subtle way withought being light and legless. (Re review, "manuka honey"?!.)
My First Choice, Dalwhinnie 15 is my standard
For years I try drinking scotch, both blended and single malt and had reached the opinion that I was NOT a scotch drinker. Then came my first shot of Dalwhinnie! I now only drink scotch, although I have tried over 100 different scotches, Dalwhinnie is and will remain my first choice. There is nothing that compares to it's wonderful taste. I will admit that I try others and some very expensive single malts, but have yet to find another I like as much!
meh...
This was a disapointing one for me. It wasn't particularly bad but it was just bland and tasted branded. At fifty bucks a bottle i wish i would have tried somthing else. My most unsatisfying buy in awhile.
Finally..........
After many fore's into the world of whisky, and a long and disappointing search to find a single malt that hits the spot I was finally introduced to Dalwhinnie as a 50th birthday present by a friend who obviously knows his whiskies!! Have to say that this scotch is a delight to drink, and will without doubt become my first choice. Easy to drink, smooth and uncomplicated....... perfect!!
My new favourite
Was offered many Whiskeys' for my 65th birthday and I chose this one because it is the best I have ever drunk. A close second is brewed in Tain..say no more!
Great gift as I was pleased
Can't say its the best I ever had, however, it is for the money pretty darn nice neat with a water back. Smooth and great sipping with a cigar.

Dalwhinnie 15 year old is the best value malt currently on the market. If anyone says they don't like whisky they should try this.
My all time favourite
This whisky has amazing flavours for how young it is. And for the price too. For people who hate scotch i'd recommend this hands down!
