That’s not a typo. It is home to a small schoolhouse, a pub, an inn, a train station, and the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Dalwhinnie Distillery. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;What else do you need, really? The distillery, founded in 1897 by John Grant, is famous for being the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“highest” distillery \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Scotland. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;When you are talking about spirits, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“highest” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;can mean several things right? In this case, we are talking about altitude, sitting at nearly \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1100 feet \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;above sea level. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Importantly, only \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;10%\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; 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 \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;blended Scotch\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“Black \u0026amp; White.” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;So grab what you can get your hands on. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Dalwhinnie \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;is famous for its light, almost gentle Whiskies, and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Winter’s Gold \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;is no exception. So what’s with the name? Well, their location as the highest distillery in Scotland makes for cooler weather. They noticed that the Whiskies distilled in the coldest winter months—\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;December, January, and February\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;—had a slightly darker, more golden hue and a fruitier taste than the ones produced at other times of the year. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;They wisely decided to encapsulate the winter production runs into a special edition. Make no mistake, this is every bit a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Dalwhinnie, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;but where the core offerings are more heather-forward in flavor, in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Winter’s Gold \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;the heather is still there, but apricot and toffee step up. The folks at \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Dalwhinnie \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;suggest that you serve this dram straight from the freezer—\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ice cold without dilution\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;—and then enjoy the changes as the Whisky slowly warms in the glass. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135681519798,"sku":"60768","price":17.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/dalwhinniewinter-sgold-700ml_60768_01_39d595e3_774cbcdb-a69e-4971-b537-40093b42de92.jpg?v=1779276471","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/dalwhinniewinter-sgold-700ml-60768","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
