Yet another treat at the Sam’s tasting was Dahlwinnie 29. This weighed in at 58% alcohol. It’s a very limited production, bottled in 2003 from American oak casks. It goes for $356. What I like about this dram is that it’s was different. After cutting to ~40% the nose is quite fruity with a hint of cinnamon. Pallette is peppery, iodiney, spicy (think spice rack). Finish was buttery, warm with a hint of honey. Overall is was a dynamic experience–quite a treat.
