Dalwhinnie was founded in 1897, and after several refurbishments and changes of ownership has produced malt whisky as part of Diageo’s Classic Malt range, at its Speyside location in the western highlands.

A newer expression of this classic Highland Scotch.

Tasting notes:

Appearance: Deep gold; almost polished bronze

Nose: Broad, firm, smooth and clean, yet with a compelling, sweet, honeyed, dessert character. Fragrant, smooth waxiness underscores glimpses of fruit

Body: Medium in body. Soft and golden syrup-smooth

Palate: A balancing ripe autumn-fruit tartness. Growing spicy, with gingerbread; then denser with rich malt loaf, molasses and mint; and later soft, distant smoke

Finish: Lingering and comforting with a pleasingly chewy conclusion. Smooth and unctuous with sweet malt, raisins and dark chocolate
