The Dalwhinnie Distiller’s Edition is a variation on their well-known 15-year-old single malt. It forms part of the Distiller’s Edition range under the Diageo company, a variation of their excellent Classic Malts range with different finishes. The Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition comes finished in Oloroso sherry casks. Dalwhinnie Distiller's Edition is finished in casks that previously held oloroso sherry, so we recommend you sip it neat.
Tasting Notes Nose: Fresh sherry embraces the maltier, more honeyed aspects of Dalwhinnie. Peaty and surprisingly, still heathery. Spicy yet grapey.
Taste: A big, spicy buzz followed by an impressive build-up of very clear, well-defined Scotch. After a quick burst of sweetness, a rich, grape effect moves in towards the middle.
Finish: Tons of oak. Very, very dry with vanilla dominating. The perfect dram for those in search of a very dry malt Finish.
