Dalwhinnie 1985 Distillers Edition D.SH.312. Bottled 2001
Diageo launched the Distillers Edition in 1997 as a prestigious range of single malt Scotch whiskies. This annual series elevates their standard “Classic Malts” range through a double-maturation finishing process to add depth and complexity.
To create these expressions, Diageo matures well-known whiskies in traditional casks before finishing them for several months to a year in specially selected fortified wine casks. The distillery distilled this specific expression in 1985 and bottled it in 2001, making it 15 years old.
- Lagavulin (Islay): Finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. Known for heavy peat, this expression adds notes of raisins, figs, and chocolate.
- Talisker (Isle of Skye): Finished in Amoroso sherry casks. Adds plum and caramel sweetness to the classic salty, peppery, and peated profile.
- Oban (Highlands): Finished in Montilla Fino sherry casks. Brings dry, nutty, and almond notes to the lightly peated, citrusy style.
- Cragganmore (Speyside): Finished in Port casks. Enhances the complex, fruity, and elegant style with notes of dark berries and tannins.
- Dalwhinnie (Highlands): Finished in Oloroso sherry casks. Adds warm, spicy notes of nuts and raisins to the smooth, honeyed, and floral spirit.
- Glenkinchie (Lowlands): Finished in Amontillado sherry casks. Adds a dry, nutty character to the light, grassy, and floral Lowland whisky.
