Initially, it has a soft, sweet, and floral nose with a pronounced honeydew melon note. It tastes of a sweet flaky cereal like honey bran flakes again with a floral notenote and sweet apple. Overall, it is soft, sweet and floral whisky with some fruit and some cereal. Very good light option. Probably best with a very clean palate.

Do you know the feeling that you miss something, and you don’t know what it is? You won’t have this one after trying Dalwhinnie 15yo — you’ll be certain what exactly you have missed, especially if you are a bee.
It smells like a huge barrel of honey with a pinch of white pepper and a bee’s size pinch of cloves. Being rather a bee or simply in a mood for something light, sweet and tender, that’s exactly what you need, even though there is nothing else.
You take a sip and feel its fast and moderately strong arrival with a slight oiliness enswathing your mouth. After that appear smoke, woodiness, unusual sourness of the berries, and it’s all quite malty. But then a little bee in your head screams: “Hang on, you liar! Where is honey? Where is damn sweetness?!” And that little anti-racist (black’n’yellow guy) is right — this malt is really shy of sweet stuff. In addition, there is not much at all in the finish: smoke stays in, apples appear, and that’s it.
However, it doesn’t make this one bad — it simply doesn’t allow it to be more than a decent whisky.
Given a set of taste flaws, Dalwhinnie still managed to make an enjoyable malt — a sign of quality and right attitude. If they keep it that way, my bees will give them as many chances as they need.
Nose
Loads of honey, white pepper and a tiny hint of cloves.
Palate
Fast and rather strong arrival, slightly oily. Smoke, oak, berry-like sourness. Quite malty. Shy of sweetness.
Finish
Smoke and apples.

Jake0001 says on May 25, 2019
General description
This is a decent whisky. The nose especially is wonderfully fruity, with lots of depth and rich aroma. I think for me however, it lands in the low 80s, because the oak notes of the cask influence are too strong to my taste and the finish just slightly too short and lacklustre. Many will love this whisky though, it’s a top malt and definitely worth a try!
Nose
Honey, floral and lots of fruit on the nose. There’s pear drops, ripe peach, figs, cherry, heather and just a hint of a bourbon-esque caramel coming through in the background.
Palate
This is a developer. Move it around the palate for a while to really experience the full flavour profile. It’s malty at first, along with honey notes and just a hint of sweet smoked paprika coming through. Then some of the fruits from the nose show themselves, particularly cherry, but now with raisins. The palate then drys as tannins become apparent, leading to earthy malt along with strong oak and vanilla notes.
Finish
I’d say this whisky has a medium finish, with dry notes of walnut and oak complimented by barley sugar sweetness.

While a good 15-year old, I prefer a more complex flavor profile. It is not unreasonably priced. I think a less expensive alternative for a similar experience could be had tasting many 10 and 12 year-olds. If you’re into longer caskings, re-caskings or ex-sherry filled this may appeal to you.

Today the tasting of another Diageo classic malt. The Dalwhinnie 15Y.
On the nose it is very sweet and fruity with apple, pear, vanilla and honey. Along with some hay and a touch of peat.
The 43% abv is friendly to the nose.
The taste is sweet, again with vanilla and honey, but also oaky spicyness.
The long spicy finish is a bit dry, but the honey and the touch of peat bring back the balance to this dram.
People who don't like peat or sherry bombs probably will like this one, but it's not my favourite.
76 points for this one.
