The Dalmore 15 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Deep amber with copper/gold highlights; forward aromas of leather, baking spices, chocolate and toasted oak; on the palate, an unctuous texture, with flavours of marmalade and chocolate punctuated by the spiciness of oak; the finish is long and warm, with a gingery, spicy character emerging.

Tasting Notes

TASTING NOTE: An completely new addition to the Dalmore range, this 15-year-old has been matured entirely in Matusalem, Apostoles and Amoroso Sherry casks. The nose is generous and sweet, with toffee, vanilla and medium Sherry, plus the distinctive Dalmore orange aroma. Nicely balanced Sherry and Christmas spices on the palate, plus lush malt and a drier, gingery nuttiness. That nuttiness carries through into the long and progressively drying finish, where there is also a final note of vanilla. Dalmore and Sherry wood have always worked very well together, and it is pleasing to see an example of 100 per cent Sherry wood-aged Dalmore available at an affordable price. Score: 3 1/2 stars (out of 5) (Gavin D. Smith & Tom Cannavan, whisky-pages.com, Undated)
