Description
Dalwhinnie was one of the six original Classic Malts when they were selected by United Distillers (now Diageo) back in 1988, and it was tipped to become the favourite among consumers on account of its flawless floral flavours and elegant character.
Although eventually pipped at the post by the smoky dark horse that was the Lagavulin 16 year old, it remains a well-loved single malt.
The distillery is both the highest and coldest in Scotland, contributing to its unique flavour through the rapid condensing that occurs in its worm tubs.
This limited edition Batch #1 was available exclusively from the distillery and is one of 7,500 bottles produced.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Pineapple quite expressive with a layer of honey and some oranges. Followed by red apples, and a typical bourbon cask smell. Quite a big sweetness.
Palate: A lot less fruity, honey and milk chocolate. Spice from chilli peppers warms the palate nicely. Very sweet and a touch of tobacco in the taste as well.
Finish: The finish is mid-long, with some mouth coating honey. The spices are fading and then sweetness is taking over.
