reshly cut grass and whisky
e in common than you think
I have to confess that I quite like it, now I know
that many do not as it has been a conversation
point at many tastings. Take the top off the bottle
and breathe in and there you have it newly cut
grass amongst other delicate aromas. This is not a
whisky to savour after a heavy meal in front of a
burning log fire this is definitely one to try before
your meal as an aperitif. Some recommend
diluting by half and using in place of a fino sherry.
My own preference is not to dilute Dalwhinnie at
all. Those of you who remember my comments on
the use of water with your whisky may remember
that this malt is my exception to the rule.
Dalwhinnie is classified as a Highland malt
indeed the distillery used to be the UK’s highest.
However, just to confuse matters, it used to be
called Speyside. Why? Believe it or not the river
Spey has its source close to the distillery and the
fledgling river runs very close to the premises.
So if you’ve never tried a whisky as an aperitif
try a Dalwhinnie the next
time you venture out – or
better still buy a bottle and
try it at home!
