N: Generally fruity with white grape, peach (and other stone fruit), pear, and a little bit of apple - both red and green. Vanilla and bread pudding. Nice little kick of spice. Something tangy lingers at the edges - more of a sensation than a specific flavor. Decent swirl kicks up some red wine and makes this reminiscent of a good Irish single pot still (like a Spot line kind of smell). That's a fleeting profile (unlike the Spot drams), but it punches well above its class while it lasts. Finishes with a pleasant mineral water, a sort of dry calcium earthy/metallic note. P: Sweet and ripe red fruit, peaches, slightly bitter (maybe underripe) pears. Vanilla and bread notes follow, like the nose, but a mild tannic bitterness and a good hit of fairly hot baking spices joins. Spices linger into the finish, but fade fairly quick. After the spice fades, finish is earthy, metallic, and bitter. Final note is just a hint of alcohol burn. Pretty good for a $30 dram that's cross-branded with a TV show. It's a Highland profile, no doubt, but the minerality of it is interesting - perhaps a reference to the Starks being more of a "salt-of-the-earth" sort of family? IDK. Maybe that's just a normal Dalwhinnie trait - I also don't know, but I'll be more likely to grab the next Dalwhinnie I see because of this bottle (cross-branding win!). Regardless, a decent and tasty dram for the price.
