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 like a blend. Thin. Reedy. One of those lowlands you just don't taste. This doesn't even have the citrus BOOM HEADSHOT of an Auchentoshan and its 15?! Avoid. Try a Bruichladdich or a Singleton 12 instead.
light but complex nose, silky smooth on the palate and an extremely well balanced finale. For this price : THE BEST !!!
Uncomplicated, easy drinking. This is a whisky for Tuesday nights.
After Xmas New Year Balvenie the contrast is tough. So overrated indeed. I first time tasted Famous grouse & my stomach felt fine. Dalwhinnie gives me burns.
Nice, pretty whisky without excessive splendor. Luscious honey with heather, a hint of apple and a bit smoky in nose. Malt with fresh grass in first taste, fruity , clean peat and spice appear after that, palpable almond taste as finish. Nice and smooth finishing. Glad to meet it at such a tranquil night. Can't wait to try it again weeks later!
