Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition

From a light and delicate whisky base, the olorosso finish on the Dalwhinnie Distillers edition definitely beefs up the whisky. Increases in characters of dried fruits- in the form of raisins, dried apricots, and light prunes- and baking spices- cinnamon, all spice, and cloves. The body of this whisky is noticeably heavier than the core range Dalwhinnie 15, and is chewier and more rounded. This is a great example of finishing from the classic malts stable of Diageo.

Nola’s w Cameron

Light amber colored. Medium bodied with a milky mouthfeel. Nose: vanilla, honey, mellow citrus, and sea salt. Some hints of raisins and molasses sweetness. Wonderfully well rounded and smooth. Palate: soft honey sweetness and some bright citrus appear at the front. The whisky heats up a bit in the middle with some spice, gentle smoke, and some oak before it crescendos into a smooth finish full of warmth, vanilla, and baking spices. There is a lingering spice and fruitiness at the end tingling the palate. It’s well rounded, smooth, and balanced. Nothing in particular hops out, it all fits together nicely.
