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.

Malty. Walnuts steeped in manuka honey with vanilla sponge. Gentle smoke weaves its way through the cereal with a touch of spice.

I adore this whiskey, I was sold on the first sip. If you like this you'll also love the Distillers Editions. Imagine you're favorite thing and then they go and alter it slightly so you can have 2 favorite things..thats the Distillers Editions! I have tried the 1992 and 1995 - both are outstanding. Enjoy!
Be patient with this one - warm it your hands in a cognac snifter and enjoy the aromas for a couple minutes to unlock the flavors and reduce the burn. After 2 or 3 slow delightful sips the burn reduces, unlocking more subtle flavors. Nothing unpleasant at all on the back end. A fine choice for the price.
This is the softest whisky I have ever had. Lets get this straight by soft I do not mean this word negatively, by this I mean it is gentle and smooth. It is not overpowering on the tongue but still complex beautiful and rounded in nose, taste and finish. I wish I had tried earlier as its a great starting point and reference point. This is one I will always keep going beck to and one I would buy anyone as a present because its not one that could cause any dissatisfaction.
This is an excellnt malt. Wonderful on the palate and a smooth finish. If someone wanted me to introduce them to whisky this is one I would pick. I really don`t know how one could fail to enjoy it
Visited the distillery after having had a couple of bottles over the years. A fantastic place to visit and a wonderful whisky. Some of the flavours are a little confused mid-palate, but the warm, sharp honey finish is excellent. In my mind a perfect whisky to drink having walked in from walking on a freezing cold night sitting by a fire (or radiator). Adam.
