Dalmore 12 Year Old Whisky 70cl

Easy drinking. Smooth with great flavour. I am a big whiskey drinker, usually on the blue label etc, but Dalmore has grabbed me. Its absolutely brilliant

Nothing to write home about, as would be expected from a whiskey that is sold in the supermarkets and has a stag on it.
It is the most tart whiskey I can remember, though. And it has some interesting spicy aftertaste.

Beautiful whisky ssooo smooth.but cannot afford it now.as I'm an OAP.
But still love a tipple.
Keeps me going

Lovely Dram, smooth and subtle. Great bottle design as well.

No difference from lots of others at this price.
Slightly dissatisfied.

Lovely mouthfeel with spicy fruitcake taste that fades into a citrus finish.

The dark gold colour was enchanting to gaze into, but kept an unbiased mindframe in the tasting.

On the nose; Straight away, images of caramelised banana followed by a strong pineapple upside down cake presence.

A fresher sweetness than the Lagavulin 16 that I marginally preferred. It was that of a tropical or pineapple nature, rather than a honey, Demerara, molasses or sugar sweetness, but not as fresh as say, the sweetness of a crisp apple or pear.

A slight saltiness came through, but no complexities or further nuance was brought to the table.

With water to open it up a tad, it became more savoury for me, with no smokiness, but more unburnt charcoal.

It was frustrating.

If it took me on a steam train journey through the hills and lochs to get me to the pineapple upsidedown cake, which sadly wasn't lightly christened with any cinnamon, nutmeg or dusted chocolate that I so wanted to experience from this, I'd have probably marked it higher than the Lagavulin 16, which I scored an 8.5.

A frustrating 7.5, not quite an 8.

Caramel and fruitcake flavours ..with a warming fruity spice finish

I get notes of caramel and fruitcake to begin with with a calm coffee and toffee apple finish. My brother bought my my first and my wife then bought me my second bottle. I love this whisky more and more each time I drink it. Goes down beautifully neat or with a drop of water to open it up if you’re new to single malts.

Excellent dram for any occasion.
