  Dalwhinnie 15 years old Single Highland Malt Whisky 70 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865459-20

  Scotland's highest and coldest distillery sits 355 metres up in the Cairngorms. The cold is not a drawback — it is the whole reason the whisky comes out so clean and floral.

  Expert description

  Dalwhinnie 15 years is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

  The distillery has produced since 1897 at Glen Truim in the Cairngorms National Park and is both the highest and coldest in Scotland. The water comes from Allt an t'Sluic, a source no other distillery may use, and it runs through local peat on the way down. Dalwhinnie is the Highland representative in Diageo's Classic Malts range, and the 15 year old is the core expression.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Pale and elegant. Heather, honey and a lightly vinous grape note, with vanilla and a trace of peat in the background.

  Palate

  Soft and clean. Honey, malt and heather, with a creamy texture and a mild spiced warmth. There is a clear fruit sweetness held in place by a dry edge.

  Finish

  Dry and long, with vanilla, heather and a faint smoke note that lingers.

  Dalwhinnie means meeting place in Gaelic — the name comes from Dail Chuinnidh and refers to the spot where old cattle drovers' routes crossed. Today the A9 and the Highland railway meet in the same place.

  Dalwhinnie Winters Gold Single Highland Malt Whisky 43%

  Item no.: 22227865459-215

  There are not many whiskies the producer asks you to put in the freezer. Winter's Gold is one of them — and it genuinely improves for it.

  Expert description

  Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottled at 43%.

  The bottle is built from whisky distilled in the winter months, when Dalwhinnie's already cold position in the Cairngorms gives the slowest condensing of the year. The producer recommends keeping the bottle in the freezer and pouring the whisky ice cold, where the texture thickens and the sweetness comes forward. It is an unusual recommendation in Scotch whisky, but it makes sense with this particular style.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Honey and heather first, then vanilla, ripe fruit and a lightly spiced note. Cool and clean in expression.

  Palate

  Soft and creamy. Honey, malt and pale fruit, with a full mouthfeel that thickens further when the whisky is cold. The sweetness is clear but never cloying.

  Finish

  Medium and soft, with honey, vanilla and a mild spiced warmth.

  Did you know?

  Chilling genuinely changes the texture of whisky. At low temperatures the liquid turns more viscous and the sweetness more prominent, while the volatile aromas retreat. That is why Winter's Gold tastes distinctly different from the freezer than from the shelf.
