Dalvve is a landmark whisky for High Coast Distillery, formerly known as Box Distillery. As the first release in the distillery’s core range, it represents both the beginning of a new chapter and a connection to the distillery’s earlier identity. Matured in a combination of casks and shaped by the distillery’s Nordic character, Dalvve brings together gentle smoke, coastal freshness and a clean, balanced malt profile. It is a whisky made for autumn evenings, bonfire gatherings and slow conversations by the fire.

Tasting notes
Nose: Light peat smoke, sea spray, fresh malt, citrus peel and a subtle herbal edge.
Palate: Smooth and balanced, with gentle smoke, vanilla, malt sweetness, coastal salinity and a touch of oak spice.
Finish: Medium to long, with lingering smoke, sea salt, citrus and a clean, mineral character.

How to taste it

How to taste it
Neat (without water): Pour a measure and let it rest briefly in the glass before tasting. Neat, Dalvve shows its balance most clearly, with smoke, malt and coastal notes sitting comfortably together. Take small sips and notice how the peat evolves from gentle smoke into a longer, saltier finish.

With water:
Add a few drops of water to soften the smoke and bring out more citrus, malt sweetness and coastal freshness. Water can make the whisky feel rounder and more approachable, especially if the peat feels stronger at first. Try it neat first, then add water gradually to find the balance you prefer.

This is a whisky made for the occasion. Enjoy it neat while watching the fire, or with a little water as the evening cools down. Its smoky, coastal character pairs naturally with the atmosphere of Bonfire Night.
