Tasting Notes

Nose

Honeysuckle, heather honey, whole orange, light tropical fruit — papaya, pineapple — coconut, lemon oil, gentle grassiness — gentle and sweet

Palate

Sweet honey and star fruit up front, baking spices and pepper mid-palate, brief cherry note from the sherry finish, light peat smoke — elegant and light

Finish

Dry, long, slow-building — gentle warmth without harshness, the altitude-inspired delicacy carrying through to the end

Expert Review

7/10

From Scotland's highest distillery at 1,100 feet in the Cairngorms — one of the coldest spots in Scotland. Founded 1897 in Dalwhinnie village. The Highland representative in Diageo's Classic Malts series. Double matured with an Oloroso sherry cask finish. The exposed, high-altitude position gives the spirit a notably clean, gentle character. 43%.
