Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old

Profile: The Dalwhinnie 15 year old at a Glance

  • Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old - The summit climber among whiskies
  • From the highest distillery in Scotland (326 m above sea level)
  • Mature for over 15 years in ex-Bourbon Casks - Mild, smooth and elegant in style
  • Only lightly peated barley is used
  • Part of the “Classic Malts” and one of Scotland’s best-selling single malts
  • Winner of the Gold Medal at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2015 & 2016

Portrait: What makes the Dalwhinnie 15 year old special

If you have a weakness for high altitudes, smooth flavors, and solid British restraint, then Dalwhinnie 15 year old is just the right dram. It comes from Scotland's highest distillery - yes, indeed! Dalwhinnie lies at around 326 meters above sea level, somewhere between rugged Highlands, fickle mountains, and very contented sheep.

The distillery was founded in the 19th century - presumably because someone thought, "Up here, far from everything, is the perfect place for whisky!" And they weren't entirely wrong. The water comes from the crystal-clear Loch an Doire Uaine, which sounds a bit like tapping into an elven spring.

The Dalwhinnie 15 year old is the distillery's flagship product and one of its best-selling Classic Malts. No wonder: It's charming, reserved, and friendly - the kind of whisky you could pour for your mother-in-law without worrying.

It's aged in former bourbon casks, its barley is only lightly peated, and the smoke lingers discreetly in the background - like a polite guest at a garden party.

In short: If you like mountain air but don't need a storm in your glass, Dalwhinnie is the perfect choice. A whisky that whispers more than it roars - but is quite charming for that.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Dalwhinnie 15 year old tastes like

  • Nose: Soft and inviting with sweet honey aromas, vanilla, and a hint of heather - delicate fruitiness and a light hint of malt and smoke in the background
  • Palate: Smooth, round, and balanced - sweet notes of honey and toffee combine with light grain, a hint of citrus, and subtle spice - the structure is creamy and elegant
  • Finish: Medium-length and pleasantly warm - leaving behind notes of honey, light oak, and a hint of smoke - all very finely and harmoniously interwoven

Ein sehr ausgewogener, gut gereifter Whisky. Er verbindet die angenehmen Seiten der Highlands miteinander, leichte florale Aromen wechseln sich mit einer tollen Honignote ab und ergänzen. Ein toller Dram, der niemanden überfordert.

Ein weicher ausgewogener Highlander, ohne Rauch und Torf. Lädt auch dazu ein mit der Wasser-Pipette zu experimentieren. Damit wird jeder Gast herzlich empfangen.
