About this deal

Scotch is, very basically, whisky from Scotland. There are several more expansive rules that delineate Scotch from everything else. These include aging, production, labeling, mash bill, etc. But for our purposes, keep the simple definition in mind. He confirmed that in days gone by many distillery operators could do this, especially in a place like Dalwhinnie, where the mean temperatures are extreme: at just over 1,000 feet above sea-level, it is the highest and coldest distillery in Scotland. They were familiar with their new-make spirit on account of the custom of being ‘drammed’ with it twice a day, usually at midday and 6 p.m., when every member of the workforce was given a dram of ‘clearic’, at around 60%Vol. The dram was usually a gill [a quarter of a pint]. The tradition was gradually abandoned in the early 1980s.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. While there is some debate about whether it is technically a Speyside or a Highland malt, everyone can agree that it does rank as an exceptionally well-made single malt scotch. What is Single Malt Scotch? Single – refers to a single distillery. Not a single barrel, not a single grain, not a single bottle. It simply means a single distillery. Think of it as the distillery’s chance to show off their own unique product. Technically this region is within both the Highland and Speyside regions of Scotland. Two regions that create very specific types of scotch and are regionally protected. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.The wort is passed into tanks and combined with yeast for fermentation to begin converting the sugars to alcohol. The Dalwhinnie distillery is located between the Grampian and Monadhliath mountain ranges within Cairngorm National Park in Inverness-Shire – the area that has logged some of the absolute coldest temperatures in all of the UK. It’s largely inclement and inhospitable with heavy rains and wind-whipped hills. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law. We shall first try to settle any dispute over a dram of whisky. Disputes that cannot be settled over multiple drams of whisky shall be solely submitted to the court of Amsterdam, The Netherlands unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise. Regardless of whether the Service offers the functionality to contribute, you are solely responsible and liable for any content and information that you create, upload, post, publish, link to, duplicate, transmit, record, display or otherwise make available on the Service or to other Members, such as chat messages, text messages, videos, audio, audio recordings, music, pictures, photographs, text and any other information or materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted (“Contributions”). We may sell, license, transfer, assign or in any other way dispose of the Service (including Members) to any third party without any notification to you, e.g. (but without limitation) in connection with any reorganization, restructuring, merger or sale, or other transfer of assets.

By the early 1990s Dalwhinnie 15 was making headlines winning whisky competitions worldwide, including its most recent Gold win at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2016. What sets Dalwhinnie apart? Meats: Light, delicate fish. Dalwhinnie pairs exceptionally well with buttery fish like scallops, lobster or crab. And the harsh burn can pair well with creamier dishes like seafood alfredo or carbonara.

Good to know

Whatever your palate preference, it’s worth it to give Dalwhinnie 15 a shot. If for no other reason than to say you’ve tried one of the 6 Classic Malts of Scotland! Recommended Reads:

While you may be somewhat skeptical at the romantic language they use to describe this flowing water, you actually can taste very faint hints of peat and smoke for a deeper flavor. So, I’m rather inclined to believe them and appreciate the subtle effects the Lochan an Doire-Uaine and its peaty surroundings may have! You are responsible for all activities through your account.

While the governmental regulations on scotch production mean that there can’t be too much variation in production, there are a few key elements within every distillery that sets them apart from everyone else. Dalwhinnie is no exception. Wooden Worm Tubes

Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). I know what you’re thinking “water? What’s the big deal, water doesn’t taste like anything.” Correct. But it is the area surrounding it that can impart chemicals, minerals, nutrients, or flavors to the passing water. This does make it taste like something.

That is not to say that established scotch drinkers won’t like it. Rather than if you have a friend who says they don’t like scotch, this might be the one to change their mind. If you have that friend who says they’ve always wanted to try scotch, Dalwhinnie 15 is one of the best scotches to start them. (Similar scotches, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich also fall into this category.)We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. Dalwhinnie’s history begins in 1897 when John Grant created a distillery by the name of Strathspey. But within a year it was having financial difficulties. But probably my strongest recommendation is: This is a good beginner scotch, especially with some water added in.
