Dalwhinnie 1990 Distillers Edition

This is the 1995 edition, not 1990.

The nose starts off as sweet soft maltiness with a very subtle whiff of smoke. It then gradually reveals some notes of blackcurrants and plums. Even more fruit flavours develop as it sits in the glass - red berries, strawberries and a creaminess is hidden there too.

Initial palate hit is like strawberries and cream. Very gentle. Slightly smoked malt follows with further fruitiness.

Try and imagine a fruit salad of blackberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, raspberries, strawberries with cream poured over it. Hold this fruit salad over wood smoke for a few seconds and that basically summarises this whisky. :)

The finish is long lasting, with lingering sweetness and a slight dryness.

I've always liked the 15YO as a go-to everyday whisky. This Distiller's Edition ramps up another notch in quality and is excellent.
