A dram in 2 steps, spicy then more on the maderized side, to leave air a time!

Nose

gingerbread, currants, malt and vanilla plus spices!

Taste

floral scent, sweet minty, then macerated grapes with frank, strong attack.
The candied lemon and tangerine are added, in addition to a dry woody return of hazelnuts.

Finish

woody, on the candied fruits, the honeyed side is also apparent.

Well, obviously, given the glowing comments I read, I had to miss something. Perhaps blinded, was I, by etiquette? Too many expectations? Enthusiasm: Nose: 4/5 Mouth and finish: 2/5

Nose

Very long to open. A little fruity, a little malty, its maturity is not displayed. On the contrary, it is rather dynamic, with a nice minty freshness. The fruits unfold as well as a beautiful woody, witness of the age - finally.

Taste

Intense, malty. The promised fruits are not revealed even with water. A little aggressive, even.

Finish

Rather dry, and always a little unbalanced.

On the nose, flowers and mint, then scents of candied fruit. Alcohol gives way to spicy returns!
2nd:
melon and orange peel on the menu with a hint of spice!

It's after enjoying a dram such as this one that we say that Dalmore really misses wonders at the point of unnecessary reduction. A fruity whisky and really very nice as a whole. No false notes, a real success.

Nose

The first volatile notes on lemon and mint. These gradually give way to a wonderfully fruity nose on white fruits, pear, white grapes. After a few moments it becomes even more greedy on apricot pie and orange jam.

Taste

A light attack, alcohol (56.3%) is very well integrated. The mouth is oily, first of all in the continuity of the nose on the white fruits and the orange. In the middle of the mouth the woody appears on spices and oak. Fresh fruits are back at the end. A beautiful complexity.

Finish

A medium-length finish, woody, mineral and salty.

It needs time to open up but is still not a straightforward dram. Feels in beetween Littlemill and Springbank, perhaps not the most usual profile for Dalmore.

Nose

Thick layers of honey, yellow fruits with papaya and lemon, wet stones, moss, then again some tropical fruits with mango and passion fruit. Quite complex.

Taste

Lemon juice, apple, pear, some mineral notes of clay and chalk, salt, cheesecake, butter, shortbread, honey. Rich and complex.

Finish

The minerality is quite pronounced, honey and lemon juice are there too. Quite long.

Without any measure with the official Dalmore, it sends heavy and tasty to all floors. The nose is simply extraordinary, with its orange waves very present. Regarding the type of sherry barrel, the color and taste I would not bet on an Oloroso or a PX. A Fino? A Manzanilla? An Amontillado? God (or Mark Watt) only knows it. 90/100 (not far from the 91).

Nose

Orange honey, apricot and raisin, dried flower. A floral freshness develops quickly, while candied white fruit settles in the background. After aeration, a huge orange wave appears and stays throughout the dram.

Taste

Not aggressive at all, despite the past 56%. Woody orange, handles of exotic and spicy spices pecking the cheeks. Apricot honey, and slight traces of walnut husk.

Finish

Average. The sweet citrus always present. A very slight woody smoke is rising in the nostrils. The spicy spices linger for a moment.
