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.
The first and still the best malt I've ever tasted. Such an excellent starter malt and one you'll keep coming back to, if only to remind yourself of the bencmark you set others malts. Just brilliant. Want to like whisky, try this then embark on your journey, but don't forget your roots.
It is called "The gentle spirit" for a good reason. I found quite tasty with a light smokiness that was balanced with a honey-like sweetness. It is relatively smooth to drink straight and I prefer this one without ice or a splash of water. Adding a bit of water makes it softer still for a relaxing drink after supper. It is reliable when you're not after a punch of flavor/smoke.
Один из моей любимой 6-ки Классик Молт. Чемпион Хайленда! Сначала нотки Хереса, потом сладость верескового мёда, как у An Cnoc 12. Просто симфония вкуса!!! Шедевр солодового виски!!! Один из немногих виски, что считаются с десертами!!! (Translation using Google Translate: One of my favorite 6s Classic Malt. Highland Champion! First notes of Sherry, then heather honey sweetness, like An Cnoc 12. Just a symphony of taste! A masterpiece of malt whiskey! One of the few temples that are considered the dessert!)
I really like Dalwhinnie 15 not only for the smoothness, but because of its unpretentious simplicity and because that what it does it does well on all accounts. the cost is good, the nose is lovely, the taste is smooth, and the finish gently fades in a way I immediately want to have another sip straight away.
Introduced to this initially through my mum - her favourite whisky and her dads as well. Will always have an important place for me and is a classic that holds a dignified and deserved place in the world of whisky, and on many a shelf. Nose: Wonderfully aromatic; pears, apple, blossom (apple, almond, peach, I could go on...) honeysuckle and honeyed apricots with a hint of spice and a gentle, almost elusive whiff of peat. Palate: cereal sweetness, toasted oak and more of those floral almond and apricot notes. Melts into honey and spice with a thread of peat deftly woven in. Finish: Resolves into more spice than sweetness, becoming more nutty but maintaining the honey notes. Toasted malt, and a long lingering warmth.
