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'm primarily an Islay fan, as in Corryvreckan and Uigeadail and Laphroiag 1/4 cask, but like all things in life, balance is important, and this is just great as a juxtaposition to the bare knuckle fight that Islay brings to an evening. It's also readily available everywhere as discounted prices. OK, so I prefer something like A'Bundah as the ultimate destination from Corry via Oogie, but that's not something you can pick up in Tescos. In the meantime, this is just fine!
What a wonderful highland. Warm but smooth finish. Phenomenal!
Wife says reading notes above it would make a nice fruit cake
The tasting notes I read were most accurate. This is a thoroughly enjoyable Highland Malt. The palate is simply sublime.
Har aldrig tyckt om highlandwhisky till jag smakade den här,den är fantastiskt god!
