The Dalwhinnie 30 Year Old is a distinguished special release from Diageo's 2020 collection, carefully matured for three decades in refill American oak hogsheads casked in 1989. As a single vintage whisky, it boasts an exclusivity with only 6,978 bottles available worldwide. Renowned for its bright intensity and fine elegance, this whisky beautifully complements the vibrant distillery character and moorland aromas that Dalwhinnie is known for. On the nose, this whisky reveals gentle and sweet aromas, with herbal scents, subtle hints of butterscotch and hard fruit candy, and a base of spicy wood. The texture is smoothly creamy, and the taste is richly sweet with a drying, gradually building peppery-spicy warmth. The finish is long and delightfully warming, leaving a lingering experience. Dalwhinnie, the highest distillery in Scotland, produces a lively and vibrant whisky, well-suited to its cold and harsh environment. This 30-year-old expression is a testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and the unique characteristics imparted by the American oak hogsheads used for maturation. A must-try for any serious whisky collector or enthusiast, this release showcases the true essence of Dalwhinnie's craftsmanship.
