Dalmore Distillery

ABV 59.9%

Extraordinarily sweet-but an engaging curiosity. This pale, golden Dalmore, without the sherry, has an especially characteristic touch of amontillado.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Taster

Nose: Almondy.

Palate: Sweet. Creamy. Buttery. Faint orange coming through.

Finish: Very late smokiness brings some balancing dryness.

Comment: Extraordinarily sweet-but an engaging curiosity. This pale, golden Dalmore, without the sherry, has an especially characteristic touch of amontillado.

Score: 7.5

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Fresh and fruity. A briny edge that fits with the sweetest of malts. Invigorating.

Palate: A fanfare of sweet malt makes a brilliant arrival. Possible to detect deliciously burnt fudge, roast chestnuts and much more besides.

Finish: Amazingly long and dry. A more peppery version of what went before.

Comment: Unquestionably the finest Dalmore I have ever tasted bottled. A classic.

Score: 9.3
