This bottling of a Dalwhinnie single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced especially for Friends of Classic Malts. The whisky is triple distilled and was bottled in 2013.
Dalwhinnie was founded in 1897 under the name Strathspey, production started in February 1898 but the distillery had to be sold already in November 1898. The new owner renamed it Dalwhinnie and until 1930 it changed hands several times. In February 1934 a big fire destroyed Dalwhinnie almost completely. The distillery was not reopened until 1938. It was renovated in 1986 and again in 1992-1995, during which time it remained closed.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
