Dalmore 12 Year Old Bottled 2005

Dalmore 12 Year Old

There are few drams of this price range which carry such a thick chewy malt. I think this dram has the texture of an 16 or 18 year old. A great nose with influences of toffee, dates and maple. Dollar for dollar a good bargain. One of my favourite highland malts.

This was another one ordered at the bar that almost impressed me enough to bring a bottle home. I amy taste it again one day to see if my opinion changes, but at this time I already have enough good ones in my cabinet. It is very smooth, almost like a Glenlivet 12 with more life.

Review based on a bottle opened over a year ago, and about 3/4 full. Drunk straight. Nose: Definitely sweet, cookies and burnt caramel. There is an under-current of red fruits from the sherry input. It's quite nice. I can't remember any whisky ever smelling anything resembling this. Taste: Pretty light, I guess that's what you get for 40% alcohol....

Colour is very dark brown with a tinge of red. Nose is similar to rum cake with a touch of yeasty-ness. Honey/mead flavours come to the fore and a very strong alcohol finish.

Score 81/100
