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.

Love love love it
we must take the long view of any scotch. ever notice how when you first taste a new brand, it may not taste the same several days later? the palate environment changes day to day, so the true test is the test of time. also, each batch varies slightly (let's be honest). dalwhinnie is a great scotch because it has passed the test that matters! also, if you can discern 18 different flavors in a drink, my hat's off to ya!
I will buy this one again. Best smooth single malt!!
Perfect for those wanting to try a single malt. Neat - beautiful apricot and light smokiness smooth flavor. Adding water takes too much away from the flavor on this one. I like to vary what I keep in my cabinet, and this is one I will keep for myself and also to serve to guest from now on.
I don't get all the flavours in any of the scotches but when lucky I can get some of what they describe in professional tasting notes. I get the apples here in nose and palate and has a little smoke which I like. A lot of smoke is not my taste but this whisky is very nice, one I'd be heppy to serve to anyone.
