Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that captures the essence of Scotland’s harshest winters in liquid gold?

Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold represents something truly special in the whisky world – a Highland single malt crafted exclusively from spirit distilled during Scotland’s coldest months. Born at Scotland’s highest working distillery at 326 meters elevation, this expression showcases the unique character that emerges when winter conditions create rapid cooling in outdoor worm tubs. Compare this distinctive seasonal approach to the consistent year-round production of aged Highland expressions like Glenmorangie 12 Years or explore premium Highland alternatives like Dalmore 21 Years.

• Distillery: Dalwhinnie – Scotland’s highest and coldest working distillery since 1897
• Region: Scottish Highlands – known for elegant, honeyed whiskies
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for sipping neat or with a splash of water
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: American ex-Bourbon and European ex-Sherry oak casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals honey, apricot, and orange zest with subtle menthol. Palate delivers honeyed sweetness, gingerbread spice, and autumn fruit tartness. Finish lingers with dark chocolate, dates, and warming spices
• Best Served: Straight from the freezer to enhance fruitiness and control spice
