Tastes

Sweet and fruity. Not too harsh but still full of character. As entry level sherry cask whiskys go this is a fine tipple.

Nose is rather underwhelming, quite sharp and almost like a blend. Fruity on the tounge but finish has a lot of burn so water is required.

Nose is distinctly fruity, reminiscent of a packet of basset fruit salads. Initially on the palate it seems quite light but the finish is long and harsher than expected from a Dalwhinnie. It burns like a winters chill, even though this is suggested in the name its not nessecarily a good thing.

A deep and complex whisky. Tones of leather and candle wax are prominent in the palate which finishes with a long and intense after burn.

Good mix of peat flavour with usual sweetness associated with a sherry type cask or in this case a wine cask. Has the lingering character you might associate with a 15 or 18 year old Whisky.
