Crafted to honour the act of saving Scotland's King in 1263, this expression unites six specially selected casks housing spirit of perfect maturity. Whiskies matured in ex-bourdon casks, Matusalem oloroso sherry wood, Madeira barrels, Marsala casks, port pipes and Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques are brought together in perfect harmony.
What The WSD thinks: Mango & raisin chutney in a wooden serving bowl. Much more raisiny on the palate with a cologne finish.

The classic Highland malt. Dalwhinnie say: Their malt ages slowly to develop a remarkable character. Fifteen years of gentle ageing make it a smooth, subtle malt without a trace of harshness. Heart-warming yet also mellow and honeyed, its combination of delicacy and depth sets it apart.

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold is only distilled from spirit made between October and March. Dalwhinnie believe that 'as the snow falls and the air is sharp with frost, the cold copper intensifies their liquid and it's rich deep character unfolds. When the winter grows colder, their liquid becomes gentler and warmer.'

According to the distillery the name Ballechin originates from a fellow Perthshire farm distillery, which sadly closed in 1927. There, Alfred Barnard, who catalogued all the distilleries in the UK in the 1880's, made reference to having experienced a peated whisky. This bottling is predominantly from ex-bourbon casks with a generous top dressing of ex-Oloroso sherry casks to create added depth and greater complexity.

Since Sir Alexander Ramsay established the distillery in 1824 the distillery say 'we've been going to extraordinary lengths to capture the purest expression of our whisky's character. Located in the foothills of Scotland's Cairngorms, we dont just use crystal clear mountain water as an ingredient, we drench our stills with it, cooling the copper so only the finest vapours rise.'
