Tasting Notes

Colour

Bright sunlit gold with a gentle honey-amber glow.

Nose

Elegant Dalwhinnie nose of lemon curd, banana toffee, and baked apple, gliding into runny honey and aromatic vanillin oak. The 25-year-old malt remains soft and fresh, with subtle creamy notes and a whisper of toasted oak from refill American hogsheads.

Palate

Soft, fresh malt with bright lemon curd and banana toffee leads into baked apple and runny honey. Aromatic vanillin oak threads through, adding creamy warmth. Elegant, balanced and long on the finish, with subtle oak lingering.

Finish

Long, elegant finish of lemon curd, runny honey and baked apple, brightened by banana toffee and aromatic vanilla oak. The soft, refined Dalwhinnie malt lingers with citrus lift and honeyed sweetness, slowly fading into a delicate vanilla oak spice.

Dalwhinnie
(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.
