Happy New Year Distiller people. Onwards to many more interesting drams!
Today I picked something a bit more on the friendly side - had a Lagavulin night and needed some contrast. This one is pretty much on the other end of the spectrum when when it comes to scotch. On the nose you are greeted with a lot of honey, some vanilla and heavy cream notes and a dash of pepper. Actually sounds like an awesome dessert cream...maybe with some shortbread biscuits? Anyway...taste keeps what smell promises. Honey, pepper, vanilla, the usualy malty barley notes and a dash of salt to pull everything together. Very enjoyable, if Dalwhinnie really doesn't get more attention that would be a shame. Because this is a good, friendly highland whisky, with a long, honeyed finish. Perfect for days when you need something sweet.
