Dalwhinnie 15 years old Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Jul,29 in Tasting , Dalwhinnie

Distilled at Dalwhinnie distillery in the Highlands, this scotch whisky is a good introduction to the delights of single malt whisky - elegant, smooth and medium-bodied with a light, fruity palate and a whiff of heather on the finish.

Part of Diageo's Classic Malt range.

This dram has a fino-like color.

Nose (90): more than average. sweet, fruity, baked apples, peaches, spices, wood.

Palate (89): smooth, powerful. sweet, smokey, pepper, fruity, peaches, wood.

Finish (87): longer than average. hot, wood, floral, salt.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Dalwhinnie 15 year with 89 points over 100.
