Special features: Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is a Highland Single Malt Whisky from Scotland, which is exclusively distilled during the winter months. The Dalwhinnie Distillery is the highest distillery in Scotland. The cold temperatures between October and March ensure that the distillate cools down faster, reducing the copper influence and softening the taste. Additionally, the distillery uses open 'Worm Tubs', which contribute to the whisky's unique character.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: The nose presents itself pure, soft, and full with honey-sweet caramel notes and fruity accents. There are also ripe apricots, a clear menthol note, and a hint of smoke.
Palate: On the palate, flavors of fruitcake, honey, and molasses unfold, complemented by spicy and slightly smoky notes with mint.
Finish: The finish is soft, round, and malty. Notes of raisins, dates, dark chocolate, and sandalwood emerge.
