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.
Best I've had, a little bit of a step up in price but well worth it. Learning to drink scotch, this will keep me coming back...
Well I had a shot for my 53rd Birthday when I was in Loch Laggon, on the 11th May a couple of weeks ago. I stopped drinking whiskey because of heart-burn! But a shot of Dalwhinniw 15yr Whiskey was SO Smoove that I was shocked how good it tasted. Even my wife had a little and she was shocked too & said: "Should I were to buy any Scottish Whiskey, it should be Dalwhinnie 15yr whiskey as it is worth the cost!" But wait, I have been told 24yr old Dalwhinnie Whiskey is even better and smoover!! :) Mr PCD Shaw from South Africa.
A very nice dram which delivers all that the tasting notes claim except I didn't get the gentle smoke they promised however the malt & fruit are outstanding. My only complaint was the 29 year old is so special for the soft notes of heather which are so pleasing unfortunately not so present here but that's ok, a nice addition to anyone's collection.
one of the classic malts for sure! I love Islay scotches, but I also know what to expect when I choose Dalwhinnie and I'm never disappointed!!
PLEASE READ everybody has a different palate what tastes sweet to you mite taste bland to me so when buying whiskey/whisky whatever try something that you think that u wont like u mite just get a nice surprise. Back to the whiskey smells wonderful but the taste a let down for me drinkable.
