Dalwhinnie 15 year old 43% 70cl

Dalwhinnie is derived from the Gaelic word for 'meeting place'. Built originally at the crossroads of cattle-drovers trails, it is now near the junction of the A9 to Inverness and the A889 to Fort William. Peat and fresh water are in abundance in this area with the main water source the loch at Doire-Uaine. The distillery at Dalwhinnie is the highest in Scotland situated at just over 1000feet. After the battle of Culloden it is rumoured that Bonnie Prince Charlie took refuge in a near by cave.

Mellow, soft and lasting flavours of heather, honey-sweetness and vanillas followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavours and hints of malted bread. Long and lingering starting with a sweetness, but giving way to smoke, peat and malt.
