Product Information

Palate: Light vanilla notes, a hint of salt brine, maybe a bit of raisin, but overall fairly light and simple, harsh spicy burn Many single malt scotches have long lists of potential buys like 10-year, 12-year, 16-year, 18-year, etc. Dalwhinnie’s history begins in 1897 when John Grant created a distillery by the name of Strathspey. But within a year it was having financial difficulties.

Single – refers to a single distillery. Not a single barrel, not a single grain, not a single bottle. It simply means a single distillery. Think of it as the distillery’s chance to show off their own unique product. Technically this region is within both the Highland and Speyside regions of Scotland. Two regions that create very specific types of scotch and are regionally protected. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Palate with Water: You can taste the wood spice much more, less burn and more toast, still a hint of brine followed by a windswept heather marsh

While you may be somewhat skeptical at the romantic language they use to describe this flowing water, you actually can taste very faint hints of peat and smoke for a deeper flavor. So, I’m rather inclined to believe them and appreciate the subtle effects the Lochan an Doire-Uaine and its peaty surroundings may have!

So you may notice a bit of a harsh burn. Nose with Water: Definitely opened up, strong brine notes, a bit of toasty brioche, floral notes like heather and a bit of wood spice like vanilla

Scotch is, very basically, whisky from Scotland. There are several more expansive rules that delineate Scotch from everything else. These include aging, production, labeling, mash bill, etc. But for our purposes, keep the simple definition in mind. Whatever your palate preference, it’s worth it to give Dalwhinnie 15 a shot. If for no other reason than to say you’ve tried one of the 6 Classic Malts of Scotland! Recommended Reads: The Dalwhinnie distillery is located between the Grampian and Monadhliath mountain ranges within Cairngorm National Park in Inverness-Shire – the area that has logged some of the absolute coldest temperatures in all of the UK. It’s largely inclement and inhospitable with heavy rains and wind-whipped hills. Dalwhinnie only has the 15-year as its key aged single malt. (You can buy much longer aged versions, but they will be pricier and aren’t generally found on just any old liquor-store shelves). Vegetables: Summer vegetables like zucchini or winter vegetables like winter squashes both pair well with DalwhinnieIf any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. During the 1960's and 70's most distilleries replaced their worms with shell-and-tube condensers, since they were cheaper to install and easier to maintain – I can think of only sixteen distilleries today which have worm tubs – and also because they produced a lighter, purer style of spirit, more popular with blenders. In 1986, the worm tubs at Dalwhinnie were replaced by condensers. The spirit lost all its personality, and at considerable expense the worm tubs were restored in 1995.
