Description
Dalwhinnie's 25-year-old from Diageo's 2015 Special Releases, matured in refill American oak hogsheads and representing the distillery's first official bottling since 2012. The extended maturation in refill wood preserves the Highland distillery's characteristic heathery, floral, and gently smoky profile while adding layers of honey, subtle spice, and dried orchard fruit. The texture remains light and elegant despite the age, with a clean, warming finish. A classic, well-balanced aged Highland whisky for traditionalists seeking Dalwhinnie's distillery character without heavy wood influence.
