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.
Сильно переоценен. Виски хороший, но никаких индивидуальных особенностей нет
my favourite whisky in this price range, good solid flavours, pleasing on the pallet
a very soft whisky. fantastic
The raisins kept coming through for me on the nose. As someone mentioned before, the promise of sweetness didn't come through on the palate as the nose had promised. Prefer a little more warmth in the finish, but the aftertaste of fruits and black coffee is quite pleasant... Definitely needs no water.
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
