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.
Just cracked this one open and it did NOT disappoint! On the nose was cereal, balsa wood and peach. The palate was stiff with slight hints of caramel and leather, but it opened up dramatically with a few drops of water. I then got toasted almonds, an emerging sweetness, notes of fig, and a more aromatic flavor. The finish was long, a spicy and malty finish.
One of the best 4 the price. If you dont enjoy this . Your taste buds are gone.
Those last 3 years make all the difference in the world. This is an excellent single malt (I'm not going to use an Scotch-snob comments about notes and the like). This has got to be one of the best deals on the single-malt market. At seventy quid a bottle, it is a reasonably priced treasure. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I would reserve those ratings for the ultra class of Scotch.
Pretty much individual preference if you talking bout whiskey. This 15yrs old is smooth and rich. And very value for money. Will buy again.
Out of 16 bottles of Scotch in my cabinet this is my favorite. Proof you don't need to break the bank to enjoy great Scotch.
