The Highland representative of Diageo’s Classic Malts range could hardly be a better introduction to the region. For those familiar with the big names of Speyside, where heavy, winey dried fruits and woody notes dominate, Dalwhinnie presents a refreshing malty and grassy lightness. This is a classic Highlander, but considerably lighter than many of its stable-mates.
Its very floral nose calls to mind the Highlands: heather, pine needles, peach blossom…the peat is there too, but you have to search for it. Given time, a little fruit becomes apparent, in particular a pleasant strain of apricot. On the palate there is more heather, with walnuts, plenty of malt, and cinnamon coming in later. It is very light, clean and crisp, with a long lingering finish.
