  Startlingly sweet.After the initial shock I felt an ambience of honey malt peat ,all contriving to a really rich drinking experience. This bottle won't last me long !!

  Being a new to drinking Whisky I have moved from Glenlivet Founders Reserve to this with a clear sense of the variety available from selected Whiskies. The flavor of this is so much more intense and I love to have it in Winter for the warmth. However, I prefer a lighter coloured Whisky for the summer as this doesn't feel light and fresh like paler whiskies. The strong earthy taste could be over powering for some though.

  I can't bring myself to consign the bottle to the freezer, but I find the sweetness overpowering. Once it passes the combination of floral tones and sappy spice is pleasant enough, so not a complete disaster. I wish Mrs had stretched to the 15 yr old again...

  Simply superb... I agree with previous reviews regarding freezing, does taste better cold(ish) but loses sweetness if frozen

  Hmm. More coastal notes than the 15, with some cola cubes. Oily, sweet and honeyed. The sweetness, from the barley, is almost teeth shatteringly hard. Finishes well, if not quite as well as the 15. Its basically a different version of the 15, but definitely from the same family. Fascinating if you're a fan of the standard Dalwhinnie. Now here is the important part. DO. NOT. PUT. IT. IN. THE. FREEZER. It gives it a bitter edge, and takes away all the complexity. Ice tightens the molecules and ruins the structure. Its about as ridiculous as you get really, and amounts to little more than a silly gimmick. Buy it, but trust me, don't freeze it.

  Was lucky enough to have this bought for me for my 50th. Decided to try this with a nice Partagas Serie D No4. Well certainly not dissapointed! Very smooth and honey notes which complimented the creamy chocolatey Partagas. Will definitely purchase again.

  This is my favourite dram from what people would describe as 'affordable' the honey kick in this and the warmness that develops is perfect. I won't bull over the notes as I belive most of these are made up. Quite simply tof the point, this is a great single malt which I belive is the best you can purchase from a supermarket shelf. 5* for sure

  An excellent smooth spicy dram when served straight from the freezer as suggested. One could drink this smooth,warming, aromatic spicy dram with a great hint of honey any time of the day during harsh wintry season.

  This is a strange beast, there is some woodsap on the entry, a bit hot in the development, also evidence of sherry maturation, but it is also very honeyed, deep and complex with tropical fruit notes, ginger and crisp apple. I sense some whiskys older than 15 years old have been used in this too. I used to really enjoy the Dalwhinnie 15 year old, with its delicate honey and lime zest. This one completely obliterates the delicate touch of what I had come to regard as the Dalwhinnie character. I had thought the whole point of Dalwhinnie was to avoid heavy rich flavours, to retain that lightness of touch. I read a review which said if you like Clynelish, you will like this. It is certainly bordering on Clynelish or maybe more Old Pulteney 17 year old. It really isn't bad whisky, there is none of that cheap sweetness that you can associate with 'modern oak', it is still a classy product but for me, 'Dalwhinnie it ain't'. It would be interesting to do a direct comparison with the Pulteney 17 I think.
