Dalmore 12 Year Old

General description

Pours a beautiful, oily golden yellow color. The legs are slender but drip slowly.

Dalmore 12 is one of my favorite Scotches: it's got plenty of soft aromas and flavors, counterpunched with more spicy qualities. It will always have a permanent spot on my shelf.

Nose

The nose has a ton going on: brown sugar, figs and sugarplums. Marzipan and spicy ribbon candy. Just a touch of white plastic. Kindergarten paste. The barley grains are husky.

Palate

If the nose has a lot, the flavor has even more: sugarplums, tart candied orange, figs raisins, plump dates, red apple skins. Has a tawny port component right in the middle of the palate. Peppercorn spiciness. There is a little bit of earthy potting soil going on. It evolves with every second you spend with it.

Finish

The finish is decidedly more grounded: tobacco leaf, cigar box. Fennel and black licorice burst out with a big ice cube. I don't know what kind of barrels Dalmore is barreled in, but I would guess sherry barrels. Just a hint of a chocolate orange.

77/100

General description

Excelent dram, slowly becomes my favorite.

General description

Delightful sipping whisky in the evening. a little ice cools and opens it so the tangy flavours appear. going to restock this one.

General description

Vinico. Maçã e uvas frescas e madeira. Saboroso e suave

General description

Really wanted this in the collection. Sweet nose, floral first taste; then sweet, but woody and peppery finish. 60 minutes on, 2nd taste vanilla & grain/malt. Not sure its for me, but not that unpleasant.👍🥃I will re-assess...it wasnt cheap 🤣

General description

it's GD at what it is. a sherry malt bomb. solid try it.

General description

Wow. Sweet, smooth and aromatic.

General description

nose- cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate and orange.
palate- very salty and sharp

General description

dried red fruits, Sherry, not obtrusive, tropical fruits and orange jam in the nose, nice sherry notes on the palate, mouthful of whisky with vanilla and a lot of creaminess

General description

good nose, smooth and long lasting oaky taste

General description

Not enough smoke and a little too sweet for my taste but if you like whiskey a touch on the sweet side, this one is not too much so. The Balance of spice and citrus is pretty good and not overwhelming.

General description

Sweet, fairly simple, good finish. excellent whisky for beginning whisky tasters.

General description

sweet, honey, mild molt flavor

General description

Too simple. Not even close to other sherry cask whiskies i tried.

General description

For review

General description

sweet, honney, easy and not very complex but nice fruits like orange's.

General description

nope

General description

Lovely nose and palate. It's very smooth, there's no burn or nasty aftertaste. Slightly above average for me. It just lacks some character… And missing a bit of heat…

Nose

Orange, plum, new wood, sherry, malt...

Palate

Caramel, fudge, spicy, sherry, prunes, acacia honey...

Finish

Tannins... fruit cake...

General description

heerlijke whisky voor beginnende whisky drinkers

General description

toegankelijk. met mooie accenten. caramel, sinaasappel. heel lucht rokerig.

General description

sehr angenehm leicht, sehr stimmig

Nose

Süße, Frucht (Zitrus/Orangen) Vanille

Palate

fruchtig, Süß dann Eichennote

General description

Good presentation! Solid whisky with little faults. Warm spices and orange marmalade are predominantly enhanced by the sherry cask aging.

Nose

Fruit, vanilla, orange, warm wood notes.

Palate

Initially dry, wood with vanilla notes and Sherry butt linger on the palate. At the back discovered some orange marmalade, nuts and citrus notes

Finish

Orange marmalade and warm spice note. A bit strong on the alcohol as it could use maybe a couple more years of aging.

General description

Nice, easy to drink whiskey

General description

quite liked has a complex flavour with a nice finish

General description

Sweet nose with sherry leading notes of fruit. Fruit on palette with hints of Christmas spices. I will always stock this one to share with folks new to scotch. Easy to drink but has more than one note so not boring. Becoming borderline expensive for what it is. Value hurts the rating.

General description

my personal favorite as far as everyday drinks go. nothing compared to the dalmore 12.

General description

Citrus and spice nose, spice and raisin flavor, strong, pleasant spicy finish.

Nose

Citrus and spice

Palate

Ginger and raisin

Finish

Spicy

General description

Rich sherry cask with notes of vanilla and chocolate

Nose

Citrus fruits, chocolate & aromatic spices

Palate

Concentrated citrus, oloroso sherry & hints of vanilla pod

Finish

General description

i think i got a bad glass...
wio revisit

General description

sweet, good round finish, undertones of spice and woodyness

General description

raisins and roasted almonds, nuts in general, dried fruit, a slight orange note, the sherry isn't there for me, overal it's not too complicated, not boring, but a solid beginners whisky for people who are getting into deduction

General description

Delightful with not overpowering spices and a nice chocolate tone. Great value for the price and a lovely bottle also.

General description

Simple but complex. Nice finish.

General description

Well-rounded, simple but complex whisky that is easy to drink all year around without getting bored.

Nose

Dried fruit (fig) with hint of lemon

Palate

hint of leather, sparkling, nutmeg, vanilla

Finish

hint of chocolate

General description

Nose of raisins, figs, dates giving way to baking spices. Lucious rich taste of gingerbread cake, vanilla, nutmeg with a compliment of citrus fruit. For me an absolute masterpiece.

General description

spices and sweetness are slightly overpowered by raisins.

General description

Ik houd van rokerig maar deze is dat niet maar toch een hele fijne whisky zeker niet de laatste fles

General description

christmas pudding, rich but rather uninspiring

General description

great smell, lots of baking and festive spices, full bodied and sweet, notes of chocolate come through but are overpowered by what slightly reminds me of children's cherry flavor cough syrup

General description

you can taste the Christmas cake in it! what a beauty

General description

Fruité est ma première réaction ! Le bois et les fruit, un peu du type bourbon tout comme le Balvenie 12 Doublewood. Extrèment bien balancé et très doux. Finale un peu courte ou le fruit reste toujours bien présent.

General description

Amazing scent - fruit, black licorice and baking spices. Flavor is high and surprisingly single-noted - burnt.

General description

sweet

General description

strong sherry and sweet taste

Nose

sherry and sweet

Palate

sherry and a bit spicy or a good zing from the alcohol

Finish

sherry taste lingers

General description

Lovely on the nose, I'm getting toffee and citrus. The nose underwhelms the taste however, which is a shame. The taste is still great, would recommend.

General description

Strong sherry finishing give this a really rich and sweet fruity taste.

General description

great smooth taste light smoke

General description

enjoyable Sherry Taste. nice price for Everyday s enjoyment

General description

this is and incredibly rich and smooth whisky, with a strong smell of candied walnuts. tastes great too, like a Christmas cake - finishes with those walnuts again. a few drops of water bring out orange. could be more complex and meatier on the tongue.

General description

Der 15 jährige gefällt mir besser.

General description

Nice and smooth, sherry taste

General description

Very good single malt. It is nice as a gift -> For that price, its really nice ;). For me it was pretty smooth on tounge but still nicely warm inside my chest.

General description

Enjoyable, pleasantly-flavored whisky; nothing spectacular, but a good drinking whisky.

General description

was a pleasent dram, would choose this over say jwb in a bar but not complex and overpriced imo, wouldnt buy a bottle of this when so many better choices are out their for the same price

General description

very sherry and flavor

General description

one is led to believe that the spice is going to provide a complex scotch with a long finish. However, the complexity comed from the sweet citrusy taste. Yhere is some spice on the finish but what enters one's throat is a warm sweet refreshingly smooth scotch. I am going to work through a couple of bottles over the next few months and see if my opinion changes.

General description

Gentle finish

General description

very sweet and sherry

General description

Intense flavour in the mouth, but very gentle with your throat. Wonderful chocolate smell.

General description

Smooth, great taste.

General description

Dried Oranges, sherry with hints of Carmel.
