Launched in late 2008 to replace the previous 12 year old, this single malt from the Dalmore distillery is a toasty, coffee-rich dram with beautifully spice notes and a thick mouthfeel. Very rich for a 12 year old.
A warm coffee house in Seattle; roasting beans, the oily nuttiness in a fine espresso, there are little notes of malt and cereal and butter from the pastry counter with rich orange from the fruit bowl on the counter.
Notes of Seville marmalade and triple sec with winter spices and fruitcake. Zesty cocoa and milk chocolate.
Medium, oranges.
Mild on the nose, the taste is simple but outstanding. Absolutely full of sherry with subtle notes of other flavours like citrus. And probably the smoothest whisky I've had so far, goes down so easily it's best to buy several bottles at once
It is one of the best whisky that i ever had in my life
Its not crap....its not great. fancy packaging, low abv.....honestly though if you like this style of sherried whisky naked grouse is better, Glendronach 12 is in another league.
This is a special one, it smells very different from what I have tasted so far, with a very distinct butter, caramel nose, almost going to cheese. Then you get the fruity orange at the back. The palate is subdued at first, then orange marmalade opened up, with a hint of lemon zest near the end. The ending is spicy with lingering fruity taste. Overall I think it was good, but not great. Still prefer my glenmorangies.
Nice single malt, not sophisticated, very pleasant with a sweet chocolate finish.
