Magnus Hillman gave this whisky 84 points
Color
Pale gold
Nose
Good balanced oak and a lot of honey, green apples, vanilla, pears and goose berries.
Taste
A lot of sweet honey and vanilla and again balanced oak. It is smooth, sweet and fruity in the background. Something reminds me of a soft banana flavored candy bar.
Finish
The finish is again honey and careful oak, it is short to medium in length.
Comments
This Whisky does what it's suppose to! It is an easy summer dram, that is easily approachable to pretty much anyone. It doesn't need water in opinion but adds some more woody notes. A good affordable whisky, well done Dalwhinnie!

Rich, full, characterized by two very different sections: intensely sweet honey that surrounds a center of malt and fruit, all resting on a bed of earth and peat. And `the combination earthiness - sweetness that distinguishes the great whiskeys of the Highlands

Color
Old gold
Nose
Quite malty. Very subtle. Some fruit there, vanilla and a hint of smoke. Not a power nose, a bit watery, but intriguing nonetheless.
Taste
Very malty still. I can't shake the watery sense. Can't get much on the taste except the malt, light vanilla and faint fruits.
Finish
Short. Still watery. Malt remains. What can I say?
Comments
Did someone dilute this? Maybe I'm having a cold. Note to self; Taste again.

Color
Old gold
Nose
Sweety. A bit of oak and seaweed. A hint of smoke. Fresh. Sweet apples. Not complex.
Taste
Vanille and anise. Sweet with a hint of honey. A bit oily. Pleasant bitterness. Macaroons !
Finish
Sweet after bitterness, but (too bad) bitterness rules.
Comments
Too bad the finish is the least best part of this whisky.

Kostik gave this whisky 81 points
Color
Pale gold
Nose
Léger, fruité. L'agrume se fait plus présent (gâteau à l'orange). Vanille en fin de parcours.
Taste
Immédiatement acide et citronnée, dominance du malt et de la réglisse (plutôt en fin de bouche pour cette dernière). Manque évident de profondeur. Texture aqueuse.
Finish
Dans la continuité, sur cette combinaison acidité (agrumes) / amertume (malt). Peu intense et moyennement longue.
Comments
Estival, léger et "rafraîchissant". Pas fondamentalement désagréable, mais ne présente pas vraiment les qualités que j'apprécie dans un whisky.
Qui goute un Brora a vie s'en souviendra...

Single dram note:
Pleasant malt, some wood bitterness in beginning, malt/vanilla/honey sweetness & light milk chocolate in the back.

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

Color
Yellow gold
Nose
Honig, Heidekraut, mit reinstem Malzgeschmack. Dieser Tropfen entstammt besten Eichenfaessern, wunderbar!
Taste
Blumenwiese mit leicht fruchtigem Hintergrund.
Finish
Zieht die obigen Aromen weiter, leicht waermend, prickelnd im Gaumen, mit unaufdringlicher Vanille, mittelllang. Die edlen Faesser schwingen immer noch mit und verleihen eine sanfte Herbe.
Comments
Dies ist ein wuerdiger Vertreter der "Classic Malts" und darf diesen Titel mit Stolz tragen! Erlaube mir, diesem Tropfen eine Note ueber dem allgemeinen Schnitt zu geben, da fuer einen Alltagswhisky wirklich toll.

Sherry malt in the nose, so we imagine the Speyside. Nut with the sweet tones of malt and a nice smoke in the mouth. A bit dry, but long finish. Is often forgotten, although he was a "Classic Malts". Realy nice to drink with a pleasant finish.

Lafroy gave this whisky 75 points
Color
Deep copper
Nose
Nose gives the sense of richness, notes of cherry, almonds, varnish. Some saltiness and dryness to it as well.
Taste
It starts with sweetness, fruit and citrus notes, some roots to it as well. Hints of nuts in caramel.
Finish
Very long and sweet. Additionally, some notes of caramelized sugar and honey.

Honey, floral, caramel and a hint of smoke
Taste
Lemon tea, vanilla, caramel and a bit of milky chocolate
Finish
Rather short with sweet notes and a slight pepper after-kick that doesn't come through
Comments
Quite good but there are better 15 year old whiskies. But they mostly cost more money though.

Color
Gin clear
Nose
Mmmh, etwas Torf versetzt mit Heidekraut, dazu diverse andere Kräuter. Dazu kommt eine Honigartige Süße gepaart mit einem leicht blumigen Aroma. Außerdem ist er leicht rauchig und man kann ein leicht fruchtiges Aroma und etwas Sherry entdecken.
Taste
Im Mund präsentiert er sich frisch mit einer leichten Schärfe. Wie auch in der Nase finden sich hier eine Honigartige Süße, blumige Noten und etwas Vanille wieder.
Finish
Für den kräftigen Antritt relativ kurz und nur leicht wärmend. Hinterlässt eine leichte, aber etwas unangenehme, Bitterkeit am Gaumen. Recht trocken im Abgang.
Comments
Da ich von der „Dalwhinnie - Distillers Edition“ (Tastingnotes folgen…) ziemlich begeistert war, war ich auf die Standard-Abfüllung des Hauses sehr gespannt. Jetzt bin ich froh dass ich mir nur ein Sample besorgt habe! Alles in allen ganz lecker, aber mir fehlte einfach das was ich an der DE so mochte: Tiefgang…
