Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old has smooth, soft and lasting flavours of heather-honey sweetness and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread.
About Dalwhinnie
Built in 1897, Dalwhinnie distillery is situated between the gentle, grassy style of the Lowlands and the heather-honey sweetness of Speyside which begins some 25 miles to the north.
Meaning “Plain of Meetings” in Gaelic, Dalwhinnie’s name is a reference to its location at a junction of old drove roads, between two mountain ranges. Although beautiful and ancient, the distillery site is not without its drawbacks: a fire in 1934 caused a four-year closure, with rebuilding hampered by bitterly cold winters and twenty foot snow drifts.
