Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old 70cl, 43%

In the heart of the Cairngorm National Park sits the quaint village of Dalwhinnie. The Distillery (and the village) is currently the highest distillery in the country and sits between 2 mountain ranges which gives it it’s Gaelic name “Plain of Meetings.” Over the years, the distillery has seen liquidation, prohibition and a devastating fire but it has always come back fighting. The 15 year old is a delightful and elegant single malt. It’s clean and fresh with honeyed pears, on the plate are notes of steamed syrup pudding with a touch of welcoming spice
