The nose is similar to the Macallan 12 sherry Cask, just lighter and not quite so sulphurous. It hints at being a rich flavorful whisky, but I was sorely disappointed. Very VERY light and far too subtle (for subtle read 'weak'). Sadly a really dull and disappointing whiskey, especially for this level.
This 15 is a fair bit drier and more "sour" if thats the word, than most sherrywood whiskies... initial taste after a glengoyne was, "im not keen on this" but after a whle I got to like its character. aniseed and bitter dark chocolate are at back of the slight sourness, which was accentuated by the sweeter palate of the Goyne. Alas i feel it needs to be a little stronger to do it justice; 40% just doesn't hit the mark. After saying that its an interesting and enjoyable dram, which i think will grow on me. struth
So harsh, not smooth at all and gets worse after each glass, poured it down the sink after the third glass, horrible! Never again..
I can believe the difference in tastes here. The Dalmore is a very different whisky. It has a curious liquorice/anise tang to it. A bit between a Speyside and an Islay. It is a great part of the whisky journey and I loved it.
