Dalwhinnie is the single malt distillery renowned for its great value, gentle whiskies. Full of sticky sweetness and a meaty body typical of worm tub distilleries, the Scotch made here was always a blender’s favourite but its own single malts shine too with their flawless, clean, crisp profile. Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old is a standout that has been Dal-winning its way into our hearts for some time now. The Highland single malt was aged in a combination of bourbon and oloroso sherry casks and has just a smidge of smoke running through it to add depth. Delicious stuff.
Aromatic, toffee, fruit salad, lush nectarine, custard. Floral, apple blossom, honeysuckle. Apple peels, pear, touch of smoke.
Malty. Walnuts steeped in manuka honey with vanilla sponge. Gentle smoke weaves its way through the cereal with a touch of spice.
Long, malty, walnut, almond.
Tastes great with cookies.
Pour three fingers in a crystal scotch glass, add three ice cubes and walk away: good stuff ???
I tried it for the first time this month and I fell in love with a glass bottle and smooth scotch.
It's good.
Honey, vanilla and toffee are the prominent flavours for me. Very smooth and drinkable, so would be a great introduction for non-whisky drinkers. Others have mentioned smoke, but if it's there it's extremely subtle compared to Islay malts, such as Lagavulin and Laphroaig. An excellent whisky for the price.
