Dalwhinnie 30 year old (Diageo Special Releases 2019), 54.7%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2019 ● Reviewer: Gavin Smith ● Category: Single Malt Scotch
A veteran Dalwhinnie, matured in refill hogsheads and butts. The nose is floral, with honeysuckle, marshmallows, almonds, ginger, and green fruit in time. The palate is creamy and offers quite insistent spices, with sweet orange, fondant notes, more honey, and cocoa. Medium in length, spicy, with persistent orange and milk chocolate in the finish, plus just a wisp of smoke. (7,586 bottles) £500
