Dalwhinnie Distiller's Edition Scotch Whisky

Dalwhinnie Distillers Edition is the Diageo annual limited edition from Dalwhinnie Distillery — Scotland’s highest and one of its coldest distilleries in the Drumochter Pass — matured approximately 15 years in oak casks then finished in used Oloroso sherry casks, presenting fresh orchards, honey, and soft spices on the nose; malt, sweet grapes, and heathered spices on the palate; and a long finish with touches of oak and vanilla.

Dalwhinnie Distillery sits at 1,164 feet above sea level in the Drumochter Pass — Scotland’s highest distillery and one of the coldest operational sites in the country. The Diageo Distillers Edition series presents Classic Malts with a specific wine or sherry cask double-maturation finish each year. Dalwhinnie’s Distillers Edition uses Oloroso sherry casks — adding warm dried fruit, sweetness, and spice to the characteristic gentle, delicate, and honeyed Dalwhinnie base that the cold Highland climate produces.
