Dalmore's stunning 18 year old Highland malt is as rich, fruity and spicy as you could ever want from a Dalmore. Kudos to Richard Paterson for creating another veritable chocolate orange of a whisky. It really is a bit like drinking a chocolate orange, just without the need to wallop it with a mallet to get it to open, which really is an advantage. A surefire hit for the colder months, and an excellent evening dram for warmer months too. It is aged for 14 years in American oak, followed by three years in Matusalem sherry butts, before a final year in sherry butts.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Fruity and spicy with notes of vanilla, orange zest and potpourri, marmalade and sweet milk chocolate. A touch of leather and sultana.
A delicious fireside dram with notes of chocolate raisins, juicy citrus, stewed fruits, old sherry and pepper.
A long, fruity finish ending on almond, buttery toffee apples and cocoa.
Really enjoyed this whisky. Great smell of burnt butterscotch. Very enjoyable
This is the nicest whisky I've sampled so far. The aroma is pleasing, and the flavor is quite enjoyable. It's not overly sweet--just right. Given the price, I can't see myself buying a bottle, but the sample was well worth a try. Karl
Dalmore's 18 year is exactly as the notes state and exactly what you'd expect / want from this range, a good dram.
In-your-face warmth & sweetness like I'd never experienced before. Powerful sherry from start to finish. I'm in love with this. Hate watching the bottle slowly disappear.
