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.
I don't get the gentle smoke at all, but it's not what I'd class as sweet either, not unpleasant by any means, but not one or the other in my book.
Dalwhinnie is simply a delight for the money. It’s an easy drinking whisky with a pleasant honey, smooth taste that had a discreet toffee lingering. Whilst not overly complex, it is nonetheless a solid addition to any collection and something to drink ‘just’ as a whisky and not because it is a time for a special time. For the money, I would give it 5/5 but for the taste I would give it a 3.75. My overall score is 4/5. My only gripe is that every time I over excitedly open a bottle I cut my finger for some reason. It’s more of a note of caution, than a complaint.
Honey, mild flavours but still quite interesting. Easy to drink and pretty good value. A great everyday dram.
Solid, Long mellow flavour. Very enjoyable despite not being very complex. A good gift gratefully recieved
This is one of my favourite whisky's. It's delicate and smooth taste leaves you feeling like you've had a taste of something much more expensive and leaves a smile on your face. The sweetness feels honey smooth as it goes down. A very good dram which is everything you want and more.
