Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold (from the freezer)

I was surprised how difference the taste was following the serving suggestion of best served from the freezer.

As with most spirits, the consistency change is obvious, slightly thicker, but the taste is much sharper, has a new edge, and crispness to it. The fruit is more obvious, apple, and pear, the honey less less so!


Not sure which I prefer, it's not better or worse than neat, room temperature. just different.

Dalwhinnie Winter's Gold


Another bargain I couldn't turn down (Tesco Save £14.45 Was £39.45 Now £25.00) :)
They recommend you drink it from the freezer, I didn't have time for that so I just drank it neat, room temperature. I thought it was very nice.
Has a warm, honey, caramel flavour, it's quite smooth, but with a welcome "burn". With the aftertaste comes the spiciness, peppery, but not overpowering.
Very good, I'll buy it again, my new favourite :)
I've put some in the freezer to try next time.
