Dalwhinnie
15 Year Old Central Highland, 43% vol

Appearence:
Full gold, old gold

Aroma:
Light to medium intensity; little complexity
(straight) First impression is of orange juice, with some grainy mustard; mead-like, or like concentrated white wine - vin santo.
(dilute) Becomes more aromatic and mellow. Scents of daffodils and Weetabix (brand) or even chicken-corn. Some buttery/oily notes, edging towards beeswax.

Flavour:
Smooth and somewhat waxy; tangy and mouth-drying; easy to drink. The overall flavour is dry with a bitter finish and aftertaste. Some heather flowers.

Development:
Becomes mulchy and grassy, but holds its flavour well.
