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.
I have tried a variety of single malt scotches. The Dalmore 12 is by far the most complex and overall great whisky at this age and at this price range. Strongly recommend this whisky to anyone looking to try other single malts.
Chill filtered to oblivion and chock full of caramel coloring. Not offensive but very little complexity due to the heavy processing. This would probably be great if Whyte and Mackay kicked up the proof and did away with the coloring and chill filtering (same with Jura). Good malt for the beginner or causual malt drinker who prefers whisky on ice - boring for the experienced malt enthusiast.
ive gad drams from here to scotland, and this is as close as youll get to a 25 year anyday for this price, the nose smells of a warm book leather, and has tastes of leather and candied fruit, finishes just as stated coffee and chocolate, sad part the finish is short, but wow smooth and wonderfull your not going to find better at this price
color: deep amber nose: dried fruit (raisins). A small drop of water allows it to open up with a bit more fruitiness palate: gentle delivery, soft sherry and vanilla notes. finish: clean, gentle sherry. A nice after dinner dram. This is good but might be outstanding at a higher ABV.
AMAZING
