Product description
Classic Dalwhinnie, part of the original Classic Malts series from the late 1980s.
The word Dalwhinnie translates from Gaelic to "meeting place", the village of that name lies at the crossroads of roads that were once used to drive cattle and smuggle whisky from the north and west to the south. The distillery began in 1897 as the Strathspey Distillery, but went bankrupt after a few years, and when it resumed production in 1905, the owner was the Dalwhinnie Distillery Co. Dalwhinnie 15 years old is an extremely elegant whisky, friendly to all palates.
Aroma: delicately floral, heather, honey, toffee, vanilla, apples and pears straight from the orchard, in the distance a barely perceptible breath of peat bogs.
Taste: very mild, slightly malty, sweet breakfast cereals, vanilla cream, honey, lemon grass, a pinch of peat and kitchen spices.
Finish: long and soft, slightly nutty, traces of malt and delicate spices.
