Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a 2015 addition to the Highland distillery's range inspired by the chilly climate up in the remote part of Scotland where their single malt Scotch whisky is distilled - as the label remarks, it was "Crafted by the Cold". It's made only with spirit that has been distilled between October and March, and interestingly enough, they suggest that you try serving this expression frozen!
Oak spice, pear skins, golden syrup and gristy malt. A touch of peach polish and chewy, sticky toffee. From the freezer it's fruitier, more green apple, apple sauce, toffee apple, sultana, even redcurrant.
Very honeyed with warming peppery spices, Big Red cinnamon. From the freezer the honey is kept in check much more, as are the spices. Plenty of apple flesh and orange peel.
Allspice, nutmeg and smoky malt. From the freezer the finish is more about the spicy cinnamon and peppercorn heat that's found on the palate at room temperature.
An assertive, spicy, honeyed Dalwhinnie with enough sweetness and character to be served straight from the freezer (as intended).

Burns night.. but not in a good way. One of the few drams that actually burn my throat. Wanted to like it but couldn't. Glad I only paid £25 on offer. Best avoided and put the money toward some king Alexander 111
I keep buying it over and over.
I’ll drink it but it’s not really worthy of the Dalwhinnie name. Not a patch on the 15yo. Struggled to find any depth Of flavour and no finish to speak of. Still to find a decent NAS malt.
got me pished really quick!
Not bad for £25.00, thought it was easier to drink when cold but did t really make a huge different. Good all round whiskey
