Nose with Water: Definitely opened up, strong brine notes, a bit of toasty brioche, floral notes like heather and a bit of wood spice like vanilla
I know what you’re thinking “water? What’s the big deal, water doesn’t taste like anything.” Correct. But it is the area surrounding it that can impart chemicals, minerals, nutrients, or flavors to the passing water. This does make it taste like something. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Before we delve into the finer tasting points and business history of Dalwhinnie, let’s define it. Dalwhinnie is a single malt Scotch from the Dalwhinnie distillery. Keep in mind Dalwhinnie’s lighter profile when pairing food. Nothing too heavy or you’ll overwhelm the subtle light floral and fruit notes in Dalwhinnie.
Where To Buy
Dalwhinnie lies within two of the most prominent scotch-producing regions of the world: Highland and Speyside. With light and fruity Speyside on one side and elegant Highland on the other, Dalwhinnie 15 is created with the best of both worlds. It’s a single malt scotch that is just as comfortable in a scotch-lovers’s bar as in a beginner’s first glass. General Dalwhinnie 15 Information: Technically this region is within both the Highland and Speyside regions of Scotland. Two regions that create very specific types of scotch and are regionally protected.
Palate with Water: You can taste the wood spice much more, less burn and more toast, still a hint of brine followed by a windswept heather marshThe Dalwhinnie distillery is located between the Grampian and Monadhliath mountain ranges within Cairngorm National Park in Inverness-Shire – the area that has logged some of the absolute coldest temperatures in all of the UK. It’s largely inclement and inhospitable with heavy rains and wind-whipped hills. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. Water is a huge part of Scotch production, and every distillery in the land seems to claim they have the best water. Desserts: Dalwhinnie is exceptional at dessert pairings. Try creamy desserts like creme brulee, butter desserts like shortbread, caramel desserts like bread pudding, or fruit desserts like poached pears. Final Recommendation on Dalwhinnie 15
That is not to say that established scotch drinkers won’t like it. Rather than if you have a friend who says they don’t like scotch, this might be the one to change their mind. If you have that friend who says they’ve always wanted to try scotch, Dalwhinnie 15 is one of the best scotches to start them. (Similar scotches, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich also fall into this category.) The high quality, high ABV spirit is then transferred to barrels, usually, oak or ex-sherry, to begin aging and maturation. Single malt must age for a minimum of 3 years within Scotland. Where is Dalwhinnie From? It is true that legally no one else is allowed to use this water, so we’ll never be able to compare!) What does the 15 mean? This malted barley is then ground into grist and added to warm liquid to create “mash” and begin breaking down sugars. The finished product is called “wort.” Fermenting and Distillation
