Single Malt Scotch Whisky40%

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

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.

Palate

Notes of Seville marmalade and triple sec with winter spices and fruitcake. Zesty cocoa and milk chocolate.

Finish

Medium, oranges.

Decent entry level

For an entry level whisky this isn't bad. It doesn't quite live up to the entry level lagavulin or ardberg but overall it's not something you'd get sick of drinking after a few drams, but likewise it won't redefine your view of whiskey. For 38 quid it isn't a waste of money and if you pick it up in duty free definetly worth the while. My personal view it's of a similar standard(not sayin they taste similar) to that of a glenfiddich 15 year

My Favorite So Far

Beautiful nose and taste to match. Gourmet orange-chocolate and rich espresso. So rich and decadent I almost forget there's alcohol in this stuff until my chest warms as if being wrapped in a nice warm blanket next to a cozy fire. Dalmore 12 is my kind of experience.

FAILURE

This used to be one of the best whiskies in the world, but after 2008 it turned into a cheap caramel colored alcoholic beverage which is good only for windscreen washing tank. Every illegal gypsy distillery in Bulgaria produces better stuff. So mister Richard Paterson, go ahead, continue embarrassing yourself acting clown in idiotic TV shows and expect somebody to buy your crap.

One of my favorite 12 year old schotches, like the Bottling Note says: Very rich for a 12 year old!

what have you done !!?

-where has the rich dark, round and fullness gone? Dalmore 12 used to be one of the greats and now seems(to the more mature palate) like just many another sherried malt....of which there are still others to be found....(or is this another gone to be hidden in the 'sales and marketing' jungle of fancy packaging to disguise less complexity in the bottle...possibly or appear as a 'fancy'(=expensive) expression further up the range? Disappointing to a longtime consumer...or could just be that owner/maltman's taste ha changed....in my opinion in the wrong direction-Why mess with success?
