I was served a glass in a pub a few nights ago. It was not exceptional, but with some air and a little water, it improved enough to be tolerable. The nose was the weakest link in the chain. I jokingly told my wife initially that it smelled like "puke in the woods." She smelled it and laughed, "Yes, it does. How disgusting."
This passed after about 20 minutes and yielded to much nicer scents. The taste was initially sour, like curdled milk. It improved a bit. The finish also improved enough to become creamy with some nicer malt flavors. I am not going to provide tasting notes on Dalwhinnie 15. It was not interesting or good enough to warrant taking notes in the bar.
