Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old

Highlands

A Highlander with some peat. Very restrained at first and the heather honey is dominant, but the peat shows through in the end. This single-malt whisky straddles the border between the grassy style of the lowland malts and the firm body of the Speysides. Dalwhinnie could be enjoyed as an aperitif or for as a restorative.

Color:  Bright gold.

Nose:  Aromatic, honey and fruity with delicate smoke.

Body:  Firm, oily and rounded.

Palate:  Smooth, a taste of heather-honey, then grassy-malty sweetness.  Finally a burst of peat and faint smoke.

Finish:  Long finish, very malty.

ABV:  43%

Awards:  SFWSC 2010 Double Gold Medal.

SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRING

Chuao - Miel and Black & White

The sweet cereal taste of Miel's honey almond praline center makes this confection a wonderful match for this classic Highland malt. For more malty goodness pair with Black and White's dark chocolate and gristy almond, hazlenut filling.

SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRING

La Aurora 100 Anos

A stunning cigar for a classic malt. The La Aurora is visually a treat, puts out tons of aromatic smoke and is so complex and flavorful you will enjoy every puff. A floral twist to the cigar plays very well with the heather honey in the Dalwhinnie, making this a pleasant and relaxing combination.
