Dalwhinnie 2006-2021 Distillers Edition
Dalwhinnie 2006–2021 Distillers Edition is a refined Highland single malt combining the distillery’s classic gentle, honeyed spirit with a rich, warming Oloroso sherry cask finish. Distilled in 2006 and bottled in 2021, this edition highlights Dalwhinnie’s elegant, easy-drinking profile while adding a layer of dried fruit sweetness, spice, and depth from the Oloroso casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, it remains smooth, approachable, and beautifully balanced, offering a Highland whisky that is both comforting and complex. This release is part of Diageo’s acclaimed Distillers Edition series, where each whisky receives a unique secondary maturation to elevate its character.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Heather honey, vanilla, soft malt, dried apricots, sultanas, light sherry sweetness, and gentle Highland freshness.
Palate: Smooth and warming with flavours of honeycomb, toffee, raisins, sweet malt, light citrus, and soft spice from the Oloroso finish. Creamy texture with subtle depth.
Finish: Medium with lingering honey, dried fruits, vanilla, and gentle oak spice.
