Dalwhinnie lies within two of the most prominent scotch-producing regions of the world: Highland and Speyside. With light and fruity Speyside on one side and elegant Highland on the other, Dalwhinnie 15 is created with the best of both worlds. It’s a single malt scotch that is just as comfortable in a scotch-lovers’s bar as in a beginner’s first glass.

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold Tasting Note

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a highland Single Malt from the highest and coldest distillery in Scotland The longer, slower condensation in wooden worms creates a whisky with a stronger body. This might be why Dalwhinnie has such a full and chewy mid-palate – one of its most delicious aspects!

During the 1960's and 70's most distilleries replaced their worms with shell-and-tube condensers, since they were cheaper to install and easier to maintain – I can think of only sixteen distilleries today which have worm tubs – and also because they produced a lighter, purer style of spirit, more popular with blenders. In 1986, the worm tubs at Dalwhinnie were replaced by condensers. The spirit lost all its personality, and at considerable expense the worm tubs were restored in 1995.If your question is, should I try it? My answer is unequivocal yes. Yes, drink Dalwhinnie 15. If you are a fan of Highland or Speyside scotches, Dalwhinnie is going to rank up in one of your absolute favorites. It’s the perfect bridge between the two and full of light fruit and honey character with classic heather and just a hint of peat. It is true that legally no one else is allowed to use this water, so we’ll never be able to compare!) What does the 15 mean? Scotch is, very basically, whisky from Scotland. There are several more expansive rules that delineate Scotch from everything else. These include aging, production, labeling, mash bill, etc. But for our purposes, keep the simple definition in mind. Dalwhinnie distillery is situated very high above sea level in the Grampian mountains in Highland region, very near to the geographical center of Scotland as well. That is why it’s one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, having some marine quality in its whiskies. Winter’s Gold is what I call a marketer’s whisky. It gets its name from the fact that it contains only whisky distilled between October and April, during the cold Scottish winters months. Dalwhinnie suggests you serve this dram straight from the freezer, in a chilled glass, just like Snow Grouse by the Famous Grouse brand. I call this the marketing talk to sell more of this whisky.

So does frozen whisky make me rethink the habits of a lifetime? No. Is it an enjoyable way of drinking whisky? Yes, it’s OK. Like freezing grain whisky, it brings out the creaminess. If you have an alcohol with a higher ABV, it’s often wise to add about 2-4 drops of water to your glass. Yes, this dilutes it, but not noticeably. While you may be somewhat skeptical at the romantic language they use to describe this flowing water, you actually can taste very faint hints of peat and smoke for a deeper flavor. So, I’m rather inclined to believe them and appreciate the subtle effects the Lochan an Doire-Uaine and its peaty surroundings may have!

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is an innovative bottling from Diageo offering a different kind of whisky drinking experience. Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is in the same vein as the 15 Year Old with aromas of flowers, honeyed with a hint of peat and green fruit - apples and fresh pear. Each sip is soft on the palate, with slightly warming honeyed fruit. The finish offers a soothing texture, as light floral notes mingle with soft fruits and just a touch of spice. Made using whisky distilled in the cold Scottish winter, it is intended to be served straight from the freezer, delivering richness and sweetness as the glass warms up. Winter's Gold is the perfect gift for drinkers looking for an introduction to Dalwhinnie and single malt whiskies.
