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.

Super!
Smooth warm flavorful. The best scotch for the money. A real value.
Rather pleasing to drink for a whisky , not harsh as I expected , bought the 20cl bottle as it isn't cheap , but might I say , will be buying again in the future
For the price range, this is another solid performer. Nice clean crisp taste.
Irrespective of the remarkably low price, Dalwhinnie 15 is by far one of the finest single malts in Scotland. This simple, clean, albeit elegant and unpretentious Highland whisky composes an equilibrium of honey (the Master of Malt Chaps here are spot on in terms of identifying Manuka honey taste-it's dominant), cinnamon, in tandem with the buttery notes of walnuts and almonds. There is also an unobtrusive flavour of citrus (more gentle lime than overwhelming lemon). The peat and smoke are just as subtle and contribute effectively to the overall elegance of this superb dram.
