One of the highest of all Highland distilleries, Dalwhinnie produces a welcomingly gentle spirit that’s full of character. Smooth and soft with heather, honey and delicate spice, creamy not dry. A single malt with smoothness and depth that benefits from a full 15 year of aging.

Tasting notes

APPEARANCE Gold. NOSE A big, crisp, dry and veryaromatic nose with hints of heather and peat. BODY Light to medium. PALATE Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread. FINISH Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.

Rating

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 95 points (Mar 2012) Beautiful scents of heather, peat, and fresh cut grass fill the nose.Creamy while sprite on the palate being enveloped in a spicy, mildly smoky, and zesty enveloping the semi-viscous core. A complex malt that deftly walks the line between lush and dry.
