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.
Delicious. I have fond memories of my last fairly recent purchase. Strictly an aperitif (it's so light)...one needs to have a clear palate and be in an optimal tasting/nosing environment to fully appreciate this beauty. The only thing I don't like about it, is that it can be a little bit too oaky...but there us so much to love about this whiskey! It's $59.99 where I live. Light but very full of character...endless notes. I'm a fan.
Dalwhinnie has a suburb taste. I first drank this on my visit to Scotland and the distillery also visited Oban. .
Just convinced.
This was the first Dalwhinnie I've tried, so had no expectations. I'm a big fan of Highland Park (Hjarta, Dark Origins are favorites), so expected something along the lines of the other Highland whisky labels. Honestly, this reminds me of Bushmill's Honey whisky rather than a scotch. Really strong honey overtones, decent finish. Not a bad whisky, but for the price I feel a little ripped off...
Tremendous value, tremendous taste. I love the quote below: it has a lovely "feelin goin doon"!
