Description
This official Dalwhinnie, at 48%, 6000 bottles in all. Dalwhinnie is the soft, heather honey Highland malt distilled at Scotland's highest and coldest distillery. Its water is soft snowmelt drawn from the surrounding hills.
The spirit was distilled from unpeated malt in pear shaped copper stills, the worm tubs lending an underlying waxy weight. It was matured in refill ex-Bourbon oak, a soft vanilla beneath the heather honey. Without an age statement, vanillin sweetness and a gentle apple point to good years in oak. The light, floral make takes cask flavour gently while keeping its honey. It stands at over a thousand feet above sea level, the highest distillery in Scotland. Years in oak round the spirit, the apple and honey deepening over the waxy core. In 1934 a fire destroyed much of the stillhouse, which was rebuilt around the original worm tubs.
Bottled at a cask strength 48%, it is rich. Soft heather honey, apple and a gentle malt, with a soft vanilla from the oak. A baked apple and a gentle spice lift it. The finish is rounded, honeyed and gently warming. This is the Highland malt at the heart of the Classic Malts.
