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 suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion, however to leave a review without trying the whisky is nothing short of outright stupidity and to compare it to a supermarkets own brand is ludicrous. To those who have purchased and don’t like it I respect that at least you gave it a go. Whisky’s complex and diverse and one mans pleasure is another mans poison. I like this one, pleasant and easy to drink, in my opinion, 5 stars, great value for money.
The reviews for this are abysmal if you read them you wouldnt purchase it , bottle looks stylish but the contents leave a lot to be desired , wont be buying after reading the bad reviews
I got it on a steep discount, and hey, that helped. The nose has a mix of nice dried fruit, plum is there, and chocolate on the very edge. Very low viscosity for a 12 year. Taste is relatively tame and hollow.... There is a mild burn, a slight fruity character, a tiny bit of salty finish, and a cooling mint at the very end, but all in all it's pretty one-note.
Don't bother if you hate raisins.
A nice smooth whisky. But for the price I prefer glenfiddich or glenmorangie
