Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition

Full rounded flavor, good sweetness with a little spiciness on the end. Great dram, glad to have it in the collection!

A very enjoyable dram. On the nose, there's a definite floral note right up front, along with vanilla, Marcona almond, and...grape candy, for lack of a better descriptor. The palate is greeted by a rich, warm, gentle tide of honey, vanilla, almond, honeysuckle (and floral notes), and a bit of pipe tobacco and spice. It's certainly tasty, and (in my opinion) a nice treatment of the classic Dalwhinnie malt. Now, that being said, I'm not sure that this one's worth the (ridiculous) US retail price that hovers in the $90 range...but then again, the classic Dalwhinnie malt isn't worth $70, so overpricing is just sort of the name of the game here.
