The Dalmore 15 year old was first launched in 2007. Matured in Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso Sherry casks, it proffers all those winter spice, orange zest and chocolate notes characteristic of Dalmore.

not fantastic straight out of the bottle but it opens up after a while to really reveal that fullbodied winter spicy taste. The taste ends a little to quickly though... so one needs to keep sipping :)
Nose: Toffee, Vanilla, Orange, Cocoa powder, Floral notes, Some smoke and notes of Cream Sherry. Palate: Viscous and chewy on the palate with notes of burnt toffee and Mandarins, Cream Sherry and hints of smoke. Finish: A Long Finish with notes of spiced orange, Malt and almonds.
Another Christmassy choice for the advent calendar. Heavily orange nose with a little oak. Spicy start with cloves and allspice that turns floral with more air. Orange flavours dominate, but a touch of water brings out some smoke and toastiness. It's a very smooth whisky - not very challenging perhaps, but easy-going and pleasing enough.
I have not tried this before 2008, but I do enjoy the "new" one. i get a lot of red apples and ginger. Nice sherry and spice notes and a drying finish. Really want the Cigar Malt now! CM
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.
