- Description
- Distilled in 1985 and bottled in 2001, this Dalwhinnie received a finish in oloroso sherry casks that deepened the distillery's signature honeyed character with dried fruit and subtle oak influence. The Distillers Edition series captures Dalwhinnie at a formative point in its evolution, showing how sherried wood complements the distillery's lighter, floral house style. A snapshot of Diageo's archival releases for collectors and those curious about Highland whisky maturation practices.
