Dalwhinnie, 30 Year Old, Highland, Special Releases 2020

Notes

This small batch of Dalwhinnie enjoys rich layers of flavour, developed over thirty years of maturation in refill hogsheads and butts, making it the oldest of the 2019 Special Releases collection. A most unusual extra-mature Dalwhinnie that is engaging, evocative and thoroughly satisfying. Deep gold in colour with good beading. On the nose it is mild with some light prickle. The top notes are vegetal and faintly smoky, as with a snuffed candle, the overall impression is savoury, with a light sweetness of heather. Medium-bodied, on the palate Palate it is big, creamy-smooth and mouth-filling in texture, with a richly sweet, waxy initial taste. Spicy, with a touch of salt and an appealing, gradually building peppery warmth that carries on into the finish. The finish is long and spicily warming, leaving the tongue tingling and a pleasantly earthy aftertaste.
