A sextuple-wood bottling from Dalmore. This auspiciously-named single malt Scotch whisky was matured in wine, Madeira, Sherry, Marsala, Kentucky bourbon and Port casks. King Alexander III is a rich, fruity Highland single malt.
Malty and utterly Dalmore. Seville orange zest, Parfait Amour, malty cereal, barley and chocolate. Creamy vanilla fudge, tropical fruit with a vaguely vinous quality.
Medium, rounded. Winter berries, spice, zesty orange. Liqueurs emerge; Grand Marnier, kirsch and Frangelico.
Peppery with well-integrated oak and the claret makes a last minute appearance.
Great stuff, possibly the greatest whisky I have tasted to date.
My (current) favorite. I'm on my 3rd bottle, which is yet unopened, saving it for a special occasion (or until I order another bottle).
what a beautiful whisky. really exceptional a lovely initial middle and finish. No alcohol burn at all, just a lovely flavour. You can easily sit and drink this all night.
