Dalwhinnie Winters Gold Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml          ABV: 43%          Age: No Age Statement        Country: Scotland

This whisky is brought to you by the second highest distillery in Scotland at 326 meters above sea-level. The distillery sits on the edge of two whisky regions and could be presented with the title of being a Speyside distillery but also more heavily regarded as a Highland distillery. There’s one thing we agree with, it certainly is high!

The Winter’s Gold was released in 2015 and is best served frozen!

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Broad, firm, smooth and clean, yet with a compelling, sweet, honeyed, dessert character. Fragrant, smooth waxiness underscores glimpses of fruit.

Taste: A balancing ripe autumn-fruit tartness. Growing spicy, with gingerbread; then denser with rich malt loaf, molasses and mint; and later soft, distant smoke.

Finish: Lingering and comforting with a pleasingly chewy conclusion. Smooth and unctuous with sweet malt, raisins and dark chocolate.
