Product Information

The longer, slower condensation in wooden worms creates a whisky with a stronger body. This might be why Dalwhinnie has such a full and chewy mid-palate – one of its most delicious aspects! The Water

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 marsh But probably my strongest recommendation is: This is a good beginner scotch, especially with some water added in. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Dalwhinnie only has the 15-year as its key aged single malt. (You can buy much longer aged versions, but they will be pricier and aren’t generally found on just any old liquor-store shelves). While the governmental regulations on scotch production mean that there can’t be too much variation in production, there are a few key elements within every distillery that sets them apart from everyone else. Dalwhinnie is no exception. Wooden Worm Tubes

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 Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. 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 The wort, now called “wash” after fermentation, moves to distillation stills and is distilled twice to create a clear high ABV alcohol product. The first still is a large copper pot still that creates a low-wine. This low wine is then distilled again in a spirit still for a stronger version. Maturation and Aging 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?

If your question is, should I try it? My answer is unequivocal yes. Yes, drink Dalwhinnie 15.

Winter’s Gold – a playoff of their notable “coldest temperatures in the UK” designation. This dram is made only from spirit distilled in the fall and winter months. A mix of honey and hot spices. (Dalwhinnie suggests you serve it chilled!) Winter’s Gold runs slightly cheaper than the 15 years.

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.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. The harsh alcohol burn will reduce. But more importantly, many flavors\ and aromatic compounds within scotch react chemically with water to produce whole new aromas and flavors. This is why critics will say the scotch “opens up” with water. Dalwhinnie distillery is situated very high above sea level in the Grampian mountains in Highland region, very near to the geographical center of Scotland as well. That is why it’s one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, having some marine quality in its whiskies. Winter’s Gold is what I call a marketer’s whisky. It gets its name from the fact that it contains only whisky distilled between October and April, during the cold Scottish winters months. Dalwhinnie suggests you serve this dram straight from the freezer, in a chilled glass, just like Snow Grouse by the Famous Grouse brand. I call this the marketing talk to sell more of this whisky. 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.
