Nestled between Scotland’s Lowlands and stunning Speyside is the Dalwhinnie Distillery. Packed full of flavour and character, the liquid created on the eastern edge of the Cairngorm National Park is a reflection of the very best of Scotland and those behind the Distillery doors from 125 year ago, to the present day.
Guests to the distillery can explore everything that has made Dalwhinnie what it is over its 125 years, soaking in the stunning surrounds while having the opportunity to taste the liquid in its many expressions which have been refined and formed for over a century of craftsmanship.
Celebratory Tasting: Dalwhinnie Through The Years - £35 per person
This year, the distillery is marking its 125-year anniversary with the launch of an exclusive limited release 17-year-old bottling, as well the Celebratory Tasting: Dalwhinnie Through The Years experience, available until 17th November.
The new liquid and bottle design is a celebration of the incredible journey, pioneering spirit and dedication to quality which whisky lovers have come to expect from the Highland distillery; and with under 5,000 bottles available, the distillery team have created a special tasting experience for visitors to sample this rare expression and explore its roots.
Guests to the distillery will be taken on a journey through the whisky’s history to the present day, as well as guided tasting of three drams, including the 125th Anniversary Edition.
The current team worked closely with Dalwhinnie whisky makers to hone the classic recipe, creating a new expression with distinct character for the celebratory bottle. The result is a warm and gentle blend with layers of spice, fruits and vanilla. Finished in heavily-charred American oak casks, the celebratory serve balances crisp apple with vanilla toffee notes giving a long, sweet and spicy finish which whisky connoisseurs and novices alike can enjoy.
The bottle design was also inspired by the Dalwhinnie Distillery team and their personal stories from their time at the distillery as well as their favourite anecdotes from its history. From the landscape, to the hares and birds which can be spotted around the distillery, and even the snow shovel kept in the boot of the distiller operator’s car for those snowier journeys into work, nothing has been over looked.
Visit Dalwhinnie now to get your hands on one of the limited release bottles, on sale now for £280.
