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.

My wife was gifted a bottle for her birthday. We cracked it open and drank to her health, and I could see by the look on her face that it was too strong for her tastes. So I diluted it with chilled water and eventually she enjoyed it. However I will be drinking it neat - it’s a mellow fruity taste that lingers in the mouth, nice.
A very smooth, tasty and easy drinking whisky. it never fails to satisfy. creamy and smooth and soft on the palate.
Not sure about this one, it's certainly not bad and I'm no expert, but I get mixed messages on my tongue. Seems quite sweet perhaps, dare I say even a bit fruity?
A delicate , rounded & smooth malt
I've been looking for something a bit simpler for a while now. For years I'd lived the peaty and smoky makes from Islay and Aran but suddenly they didn't appeal anymore. I was looking for something full bodied and dry. I really dislike sweetness in my Whiskey. This was on special at another store and I believe the more mature a Scotch is generally the dryer it gets. The Dalwhinnie 15 yo hit the spot. Lovely and dry, plenty of kick but also very smooth and a great price. Will be my favorite for them time being.
