From the coldest and highest Distillery in Scotland.

Dalwhinnie, Scotland, has a population of 80. That’s not a typo. It is home to a small schoolhouse, a pub, an inn, a train station, and the Dalwhinnie Distillery. What else do you need, really? The distillery, founded in 1897 by John Grant, is famous for being the coldest and the "highest" distillery in Scotland. When you are talking about Spirits, "highest" can mean several things, right? In this case, we are talking about altitude, sitting at nearly 1100 feet above sea level.

Only 10% of production ends up in their Single Malt nameplate, and they are a small shop to boot with only one wash and one Spirit still each. The rest goes into the famous blended Scotch "Black & White." So grab what you can get your hands on.

Dalwhinnie has a reputation for creating light, almost gentle Whiskies, and Dalwhinnie 15 Year is their most famous expression. Its flawless, clean and crisp flavors give this Highlander a recognizable place in the Diageo's Classic Malts range.
