The third tasting took place several month later, and its conclusions were very different of the first ones. Own taste evolution? Chemical reaction with the air?
The nose is rather clean, revealing malt notes, with smoke and dry fruit hints.
The taste in the palate is rather bitter (wood, walnuts) on a background of malt. Sherry is detected as well.
A nice finish, with some rather pleasant bitter hints.

At the second tasting, I had a long hesitation before I could rate this whisky. Something difficult to define, a nice smell, but without anything special, a nice nice taste, and that's it, without the fragrances explosions which are so characteristic of great whiskies.
A nice finish, but not really special. The first impression is confirmed.

The first nose is rather discrete but after a while spices, dried fruits ans other malty smells appear, together with some smoke on the background.
In the palate this whisky is very smooth with however a kind of bitterness. Between banana and walnut.
A rather long finish swinging between malty sweetness and woody bitterness with even a touch of citrus acidity, quickly dominated by the hints of ripe fruits.

Dalwhinnie is part of the "Classic Malts" collection of United Distillers. This special "Distillers edition" was matured in sherry Aloroso casks, and the final result is very good, that's all as far as I am concerned.

Colour: Old gold
The nose is rather discrete, with notes of sherry and a very nice slight bitterness. Not particularly complex or expressive. But faultless.
The palate is pleasantly influenced by discreet aromas of sherry and cashews. Not very complex, even relatively simple, but pleasant to drink.
The finish is slightly more complex than the mouth. This is especially due to this pleasant bitterness that lasts several minutes. It's just fun ...
A great whisky for the aperitif.
