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.
Great go-to digestif; subtle flavors and a smooth finish. Don't bother with the rocks. If you are looking to impress someone by drinking your scotch neat, this one is for you.
Tried it with a flight of single malts. McCallan 18yr and Glenlivet 18 yr. The Dalmore 15 year was far better. Went to Total Wine and purchased 12 year as they were out of 15. Don't know about all the flavors you mention above but it's my "go to" scotch now.
I was disappointed in this I felt like it lacked a ton of complexity and is simple a scotch that is wasted on the experience drinker there are better bottles at cheaper price points . do yourself a favor and don't buy it
After a 20 minutes of resting and a great cigar just lit I took my first sip smooth with a sweet finish a gentle warmth and I was hooked in. To say the least I enjoyed this dram very much although not my favorite but a second buy absolutely a must try.
Received as Christmas gift & am throughly enjoying it!!!
