Tasting Notes
Dalwhinnie 30 Year Old (Special Release 2019) is a delightful whisky that takes you on a flavorful journey. The nose greets you with a warm embrace of spicy root ginger, clover honey, and subtle hints of smoke and minerals, complemented by buttery caramel undertones. Upon adding water, it transforms into a creamy symphony of sweet malt, condensed milk, vanilla cheesecake, and prominent floral honey, with a delicate grassy note. The palate packs a punch of spice, peppery oak, and a lingering flinty mineral note, balanced by the sweetness of set honey and a touch of tinned pear. With water, it mellows into a refreshing cream soda, fresh hay, and a hint of sea salt, while the spice becomes more tempered and dried apple notes emerge. The finish leaves a lasting impression of minerals, white pepper, dried apricot, waxy vanilla, and a gentle lingering smoke. This exceptional Dalwhinnie, aged for 30 years, is a part of Diageo's Special Releases 2019, with a limited release of 7,586 bottles.
