- It is a shelf filler, in the best way. One you’ll go back to when you want something delicious, but not exceptional.
- Very very good entry whisky, although it’d be nice if it was cheaper. It’s light and creamy. Very easy to drink.
- Dalwhinnie is a great bottle, not really my taste for the price BUT I would not be upset if I received it as a gift. Drinks super nicely.
- I’m personally a big fan of Dalwhinnie, and at that price, you have to get one.
Cons
- It's a nice intro whisky but once the introductions are over, anyone hardly ever looks towards Dalwhinnie.
- I don't particularly like Dalwhinnie, but the Dalwhinnie is also a good bottle for people that like it.

Dhalwhinnie, my favourite to Laphroaig, which was too peaty for me until recently.

Once you think you are ready for Scotch I think Dalwhinnie is a good choice.
I think I remember it as being pretty good, very smooth, almost buttery.
