Dalwhinnie 15 Year

[Revisited 11/2015] Natural pale color, dated presentation, which only serves to conceal this under-appreciated malt... Beautifully smooth and fragrant with notes of gentle honey, vanilla frosting (but not too sweet), lemon zest, fresh orange blossom, pineapple, nutty cereal, gentle salt air and distant, welcoming smoke. An old favourite and an excellent dram for new single malt explorers. Added water dampens the sweetness and draws out the smokiness. Dry glass: cocoa and green pepper.
