But it is the area surrounding it that can impart chemicals, minerals, nutrients, or flavors to the passing water. This does make it taste like something. Keep in mind Dalwhinnie’s lighter profile when pairing food. Nothing too heavy or you’ll overwhelm the subtle light floral and fruit notes in Dalwhinnie.
