Dalwhinnie 2007 Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

(dal-WHIN-ee) Dalwhinnie was founded in 1897 by John Grant, George Sellar and Alexander Mackenzie, and production began in 1898. It was originally named Strathspey, but was renamed Dalwhinnie when spirit first ran, a name usually translated as “Plain of Meetings” in reference to its position at a junction of old drove roads between mountain ranges. Its history also includes a major fire in 1934, which forced a four-year closure before the distillery reopened in 1938.
