Dalmore 15 Year Old

General description

fruity, sweet, caramel

General description

eine süße Mischung aus Sherry und Orange-Zimt mit der üblichen Ledernote; all das findet sich im Geschmack wieder, mit schöner Würze und leichter Pfeffrigkeit; im Gegensatz zum 12 und 18jährigen sind die 40% hier nicht zu wenig und leisten eine ausgewogene Komplexität; mein Favorit von Dalmore

A smooth tasting solid scotch. This is one of my go-to choices. The price seems to be creeping up, but it's still worth it

General description

mildly sweet, very smooth

General description

smooth drinker

General description

Very woody, unbalanced and lacking complexity. I was expecting more sherry notes also.

General description

Sweet and spicy. Very smooth.

General description

Wunderbare Farbe, angenehme Nase, komplexer Geschmack und angenehm langer Abgang

General description

In der Nase sehr würzig mit dunklen (Trocken-)Früchten im Hintergrund. Aromen von Tabak und Leder liegen darüber.

Im Mund sehr weich und ölig und würzig-süß. Im sehr kräftigen Abgang Orangen mit Tabak und Eiche. Nachdem die Süße verblasst, bleibt eine würzig-bittere Holz- und Ledernote im Mund zurück.

My 2nd Dalmore in the taster tonight. After having tasted the 12Y some time ago, the 15Y is next.
First a funny fact about Dalmore. The distillery was founded in 1839 by a guy who made his fortune with the opium trade.
A little less funny is the fact that Dalmore master blender Patterson, thinks that he needs to caramel colour his baby's and dilute this and others to a meagre 40%.
I do like his idea of creating a blend with 3 different sherry finishes though. Matusalem/Apostoles and Amaroso casks.

On the nose I got sweet berrie & cherrie and lots of orange. The presence of sweet sherry is obvious, but the smell of stepping into a flower shop surprised me a bit. A chocolate bitterness finishes this pleasant nosing.

On the palate a bit sharper with alcohol than expected with it's 40%.
Oranges and sherry deliver the fruity part here, where cinnamon and pepper take care off the spices. Burnt brown sugar and a hint of bitter almond made this one complex and well rounded.

The medium slight oaky dry and nutty bitter finish, luckily has a lot of toffee, raisin and orange sweetness to compensate the bitter and dry parts.

After rating the 12Y with 84 points, i had high expectations of this one. But sadly I was a bit underwhelmed with this Dalmore.
My score is 80 points.

58€/70cl

Not mine.

General description

Beautiful nose but lacking in taste for the price you pay. A higher ABV could have made the difference I guess.

General description

sweet and balanced

General description

dégusté au porter house

General description

A whiskey for a cold day. Rich sweetness that reminds of molases. You pay extra for the brand name, but worth trying a dram.

Nose

Caramel, black forest cake

Palate

Very sweet. molasses and caramel

Finish

Does not linger long, but consistent with mid notes.

General description

Finish

A gentle falling off of sweet notes.

strong chocolate and cherry flavors

General description

A good one

General description

add this is part of a whiskey flight spicy and full body

General description

Sherry is prominent and takes over both the nose and the palate. All other flavors are imperceptible. But overall it's very enjoyable.

General description

Dieser whisky wird bei mir am liebsten in der Weihnachtszeit getrunken, deshalb ist er auch schon wieder leer. Er erinnert mich stark an zimt und pflaume. Werde ich sicher mal wieder nach kaufen.
