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.
Sent a bottle to my father in Spain. His palate is not whisky educated. He can't afford buying Scottish whisky or any. Here, again, he noticed the smoothness of it and the flavour. In his language it means real good. he got 2 samples of Blanton bourbon I sent after reading the reviews. He said Blanton burned his mouth..!! Too happy he forgot it all with 15 years velvety Dahlwhinnie !
If you like a lighter whisky you can do better. The only thing letting this down is its finish (a little on the harsh side. I would really rate Tomartin or Tormore for a or subtle finish.
Very good stuff...Recommended
The Chaps at Master of Malt have this one pegged perfectly...Very aromatic nose, lots of fruit and light smoke; the palate has a lot of walnut and spice, but it's not overpowering; and the finish goes on forever...I love this one, definitely one of the better light single malts in its price range.
A very smooth and delicate one.. one of my favorites
