Single Highland Malt Whisky, 43%vol
When the water you start with comes from the highest mountain source of any malt, you expect something rather fine. And Dalwhinnie, for whisky writer Roger Voss a "surprisingly soft whisky...from Scotland's highest, most remote distillery", does not disappoint. The source, Lochan an Doire-Uaine, (Gaelic for "Loch of the green thicket"), lies at 2,000 feet in the Drumochter Hills. From it, all the pure spring water used in distilling Dalwhinnie flows over rich local peat through Allt an t'Sluic, the distillery burn.
No other distillery may use this water; neither may they enjoy Dalwhinnie's unique combination of a clean, accessible, malty-sweet taste leading in to a growing, smooth and smoky Highland warmth. Dalwhinnie distillery is situated between the gentle, grassy style of the Lowlands and the austere, firm body of Speyside which begins some 25 miles to the north. The style is that of the Highlands; a resilient marriage of gentleness and spirit. As befits a malt from such a place, Dalwhinnie defies simple description. Too heart-warming for an aperitif alone, yet too gentle and delicate to be thought rugged or unapproachable; this combination of delicacy and depth sets it apart.
"The Highland peatiness is very restrained at first, balanced by heathery sweetness, but intensifies toward the finish. Clear flavours against a very clean background. A good aperitif." Michael Jackson, whisky writer and expert.
