Product details
Smooth aromatic heather and honey sweetness, Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old is a clean, crisp Scotch which provides a perfect introduction to the delights of single malt whisky. Dalwhinnie is the highest and coldest distillery in Scotland and was founded at the end of the 19th century. Dalwhinnie Scotch is the only Highland whisky to offer a combination of clean and easy-drinking, malty-sweet flavours with a smooth and smoky warmth. Dalwhinnie releases its full honeyed sweetness when served chilled or over ice. It makes the perfect gift for whisky lovers looking for a smooth, deliciously enjoyable single malt.
Tasting notes
Smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather-honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread. Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to smoke, peat and malt.
THE GENTLE SPIRIT OF THE HIGHLANDS
Made in the highest and coldest working distillery in Scotland, with water from a loch at 2000 feet, Dalwhinnie whisky thrives on extreme conditions – creating a liquid as sweet and accessible as its highland home is remote. When it was purpose-built in 1897, the distillery was first called Strathspey. Perhaps looking to distinguish their already distinctive whisky, the owners soon changed the name to Dalwhinnie when production started in 1898. It means “Plain of Meetings” in Gaelic, a reference to the location at a junction of old drove roads, between two mountain ranges. Though beautiful and ancient, the site is not without its drawbacks: a fire in 1934 caused a four year closure, with rebuilding hampered by bitterly cold winters and twenty-foot snow drifts.
