Отзывы о Dalwhinnie 30-year-old в основном положительные: его описывают как элегантный, сложный и хорошо сбалансированный виски с цитрусовыми, мёдом, травянистыми и дубовыми нотами. При этом часть отзывов отмечает недостаток сложности, шероховатость или высокую цену.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах этот виски чаще всего описывают как элегантный и сложный, с хорошим балансом. В ароматике и вкусе повторяются цитрусовые (апельсин, грейпфрут, лимон), мёд, травянистые и цветочные ноты, а также дуб, специи, ваниль и иногда воск, минеральные и морские оттенки. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают сливочную, маслянистую текстуру и приятное, освежающее ощущение, а также хорошую интеграцию дуба. Часть отзывов называет его очень удачным и достойным бутылки, с длительным или приятным послевкусием.
Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и критические замечания: одному виски не хватает сложности и чёткости отдельных вкусов, другому — выразительности дистиллята, а в одном случае вкус назван грубым, пряным и чрезмерно дубовым, а релиз — не стоящим денег. Также встречается мнение, что по сравнению с 25-летним релизом улучшения нет. Общего единодушного вывода о превосходстве или провале в текстах нет: преобладают положительные впечатления, но они соседствуют с заметной критикой.

For this batch, decent barrels were collected that were at least 30 years old and are actually representative of Dalwhinnie. Based on the number of bottles, I assume that there were at least 10, probably a few more, barrels that were married in one batch. The aromas represent the rather grassy old school style with little fruit and are of good quality. The whisky lacks a little complexity and definition in the individual flavors to achieve more than 90 points, but without question this is a very nice whisky and I would love to have more than a 3cl sample of it. A bottle of this would be worth a maximum of 200 euros to me, because the distillate from Dalwhinnie does not necessarily represent the high art of distillation and you can notice that in the mouthfeel.

The nose has aromas of oranges, honey and a floral, tart note with fruit. That's the direction it's going in. With a batch of around 6,000 bottles, the aromas are naturally mixed and not as defined as with a single cask, but the most important thing is that the quality of enjoyment is right. And that is high here. The nose is of course flawless, with its own character due to the grassy influence and is more dry than sweet. With more time, the whisky becomes drier and grassier, the light, dry wood comes from the background into the foreground. I find this quality very exciting and varied.

88.5 Here, too, the dry, grassy aromas set the tone. Then follow tart, fruity aromas of orange peel, the barley malt, aromas of straw and, at the end, a dry wood note. The barrels were not very active, but that gives the distillate more space and I like it because it is still not too woody.

88.5 The mouthfeel is not dominated by barley sugar and the dry woodiness is not disturbing because the distillate is good (but not very good). This is very decent but clearly shows that the Dalwhinnie distillate is not particularly oily or fatty.

The notes speak for themselves: Malt that stays in your head for a long time by causing a varied head cinema. It sounds dry and aloof, but I really enjoyed it.

Wow, it's very voluminous. Great heavy citrus character with pastry and green herbal notes. You think you can hear some smoke, but it's very difficult to define. Reminds me of the hot summer time with its heavy, light, citric flavor - fresh drinks on the terrace, refined with honey, served with an orange/lemon garnish and freshly cut herbs from the Mediterranean garden.

Very tart and heavy on herbs, Mediterranean is also the keyword here. Tangy lemons and tart herbal brews dominate. Could also be an older Bunna from the bourbon cask. One feels transported to a sunny but rough and windy coast, sea spray and salty embankments on the seafront. Surprisingly maritime, a walk along the North Sea coast or on some Scottish island - that's what's going on in my head while I'm sitting on the couch. Malts with a lot of mental cinema usually stay in my memory for a long time and always get a few more sympathy points. This has been the case here for a long time.

Maritime and Mediterranean: The above is also reflected here. Also, I finally find some smoke that can be defined that way. Rough and with a lot of sea spray on the stormy coast, plus a citrus-heavy and honey-sweetened cocktail in hand - voluminous and long-lasting, the malt lets me wallow in the imagination for some time. You read a lot of bad things about the Diageo SRs, this Dalwhinnie proves the opposite again.

This Highland malt matured on refill hogsheads. Whoa! As luck would have it, I had tasted their entry level 15 years old this week – which I quite like – but this is a totally different league. Seminola, quince, rhubarb marmelade. And so very lively for its age. Mild, but utterly & stunningly beautiful. Exceptional. Very quaffable with something fresh like menthol that lifts the citrus fruit and sweet plums. Very sweet indeed. Liquid dessert. The finish is not very long, but super clean and elegant. I’m impressed. With any luck, Dearly Beloved is reading this and decides to put it under the Christmas tree.

Not all wineries are called Brora, and there will be surprises after a few decades. Generally speaking, there is no improvement compared with the 25 years of SR release.

Initially somewhat closed on the nose, fruity notes emerge. Unfortunately, these weren't easily identifiable in the small sample.

Superb Complex, elegant, takes some time to navigate. An excellent dram. It’s fruity, citrusy, chalk, menthol, fresh hay, tropical fruits, sweet and creamy mouth, nicely coating, perfectly drying at the end, just enough to balance the sweet side.

Nose is quite appealing, with its soft, vanilla, floral nose, but the palate is rough, spicy, and oaky. Quite a miss by Diageo here which usually have semi-decent stuff for their annual releases, but if I'm being honest, these releases have been getting quite abysmal lately and totally not worth the money. It's shameful for a corporation who employs arguably the best whisky people out there decided to put out this junk.
