Tothemorrow gave this whisky 84 points

Complex, spicy, barley sugar, lots of white pepper, rough, hot finish

Worse when water is added

Dark amber color. The tasting gives a very soft aroma with fruity notes partecipates is remarkable memories of smoke. The taste is full, dry with hints of peat and malt. The notes of burnt caramel, orange and mandarin, oak, make it seem oldest of 12 years.

Nose: Slaty, oak, a bit red (port?) wine, a bit sour, fruity - dry sherry

Mouth: very very smooth, sherry, a bit oak

Finish: a bit short, sherry, tad oak, burnt caramel

Comments: Insanely smooth, seriously. Very nice Sherry and Oak combination. While it is very rich in flavor in the mouth it suffers a bit from the 40% vol. but not too much. All in all I quite like it, at 43% it would get some more points.

Color

Amber

Nose

A full and fat aroma of sherry and blood oranges with a chocolate tone. Some spicy undertones.

Taste

A soft, smooth but full-on attack of toffee caramel, blood oranges, chocolate and sherry.

Finish

Long with malty and light coffee tones.

Comments

The well-made malt yet heavyly sherry-based character gives me the impression that it could harbour so much more complex flavours yet it refuses to open up fully. Even with lots of water. The whisky will complement dark 70% chocolate or chocolate with orange-flavoured filling perfectly.

"A favourite expression in the Dalmore stable, this 15-year-old is
elegant and smooth, with lipsmacking texture and the flawless balance
one would expect from blending maestro Richard Paterson."
TWE

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Wonderful, let`s say superb, perfect sherry with a smokey and herbal surrounding, powerful but easy to drink, smooth mellow and fruity with a long everlasting finish.
