Description
Scotch is, very basically, whisky from Scotland. There are several more expansive rules that delineate Scotch from everything else. These include aging, production, labeling, mash bill, etc. But for our purposes, keep the simple definition in mind.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. Dalwhinnie only has the 15-year as its key aged single malt. (You can buy much longer aged versions, but they will be pricier and aren’t generally found on just any old liquor-store shelves).
Good to know
The Dalwhinnie distillery is located between the Grampian and Monadhliath mountain ranges within Cairngorm National Park in Inverness-Shire – the area that has logged some of the absolute coldest temperatures in all of the UK. It’s largely inclement and inhospitable with heavy rains and wind-whipped hills. This malted barley is then ground into grist and added to warm liquid to create “mash” and begin breaking down sugars. The finished product is called “wort.” Fermenting and Distillation If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If your question is, should I try it? My answer is unequivocal yes. Yes, drink Dalwhinnie 15. If you are a fan of Highland or Speyside scotches, Dalwhinnie is going to rank up in one of your absolute favorites. It’s the perfect bridge between the two and full of light fruit and honey character with classic heather and just a hint of peat. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).
Winter’s Gold – a playoff of their notable “coldest temperatures in the UK” designation. This dram is made only from spirit distilled in the fall and winter months. A mix of honey and hot spices. (Dalwhinnie suggests you serve it chilled!) Winter’s Gold runs slightly cheaper than the 15 years.

The Dalwhinnie 15 has an ABV of 43% which is a little higher than some scotches. So you may notice a bit of a harsh burn. It is true that legally no one else is allowed to use this water, so we’ll never be able to compare!) What does the 15 mean?

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold Details
Dalwhinnie distillery is situated very high above sea level in the Grampian mountains in Highland region, very near to the geographical center of Scotland as well. That is why it’s one of the highest distilleries in Scotland, having some marine quality in its whiskies. Winter’s Gold is what I call a marketer’s whisky. It gets its name from the fact that it contains only whisky distilled between October and April, during the cold Scottish winters months. Dalwhinnie suggests you serve this dram straight from the freezer, in a chilled glass, just like Snow Grouse by the Famous Grouse brand. I call this the marketing talk to sell more of this whisky. Single – refers to a single distillery. Not a single barrel, not a single grain, not a single bottle. It simply means a single distillery. Think of it as the distillery’s chance to show off their own unique product.
Dalwhinnie’s history begins in 1897 when John Grant created a distillery by the name of Strathspey. But within a year it was having financial difficulties. Almost all single malt scotch will be labeled with the number of years it aged. This will be the age of the youngest whisky in the bottle.Malt – here’s where we get into the single grain. “Malt” in this case always means barley. Barley is malted by harvesting the grain, soaking it until it sprouts. Then drying it, usually over a fire so it gets toasty. Differences in the malting process can add wood or peat notes, but the basic process is the same. The harsh alcohol burn will reduce. But more importantly, many flavors\ and aromatic compounds within scotch react chemically with water to produce whole new aromas and flavors. This is why critics will say the scotch “opens up” with water. First, the barley is harvested, allowed to germinate and sprout, then toasted overheat. This process is called malting.
