Single Malt Whisky, Scotland/Highlands

Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition undergoes a second maturation in oloroso sherry casks with sweet-smelling grapey notes, carefully chosen to complement Dalwhinnie’s characteristic moorland peat and heather honey. Expresses a rich, vinous smoothness, and a spicy complexity with a very astringent woody finish.

Nose : Fresh notes of sherry are interwoven with the Dalwhinnie’s more malty, honeyed aromas. Peaty but surprisingly, still with a note of heather coming through. Spicy and yet grapey.

Palate : A powerful spicy buzz is followed by an impressive accumulation of very distinct, well-defined malt. After a lively explosion of sweetness, a rich note of grapes fills the mid-palate.

Overall : Lots of oak. Ultra dry, despite being dominated by vanilla.
