DISTRICT |
Speyside |
The highest distillery in
Scotland,
at 326m (1,073ft). Dalwhinnie has the Monadhlaith Mountains to one side,
and the Forest of Atholl, the Cairngorms, and the Grampians to the other.
Its name is Gaelic for “meeting place”. The village of the same name
stands at the junction of old cattle-droving routes from the west and
north down to the central
Lowlands.
Much whisky smuggling went on along this route. The distillery was called
Strathspey when it opened in 1897. Stretching a point, it can regard
itself as being on Speyside, although it is 25 miles or more away to the
north. Its whisky has traditionally been an important component of the
Buchanan blends, and it represents the
Highlands in United
Distillers’ “Classic Malts” range.
HOUSE STYLE
Lightly peaty. Cut grass and heather honey. Clear flavors against a very
clean background. Aperitif.
