Dalwhinnie

Dalwhinnie is a Lowland single malt. The first thing we noticed about it was its light colour. It has none of the rich amber of most other good Scotches. The second thing we noticed was the pleasant aroma. It’s fruity and mild, but enjoyable. Far from the robust iodine, brine, or peaty odour that distinguishes the other single malts on the list of six. The flavour was a disappointment. There is a bit of green apple sourness and a finish reminiscent of honey, but overall the taste is weak and undistinguished. It tastes like a moderately priced blended Scotch and not like the expensive single malt it is. Dalwhinnie is at the bottom of the likability list thus far.
