lots of wood, sherry, raisin.
easy drinker , would benefit from a higher abv.

General description

Виски Dalmore всегда нравился своим оформлением бутылки, но и как виски он очень хорош, хотя многие считают его переоцененным.
Итак, цвет очень красивый, темный, но тут есть краситель. Тело очень плотное и маслянистое. Оно как бы сразу намекает, что напиток внутри сильно благородный, хотя выдержка далеко не самая большая.
Аромат цитрусовый, причем апельсиново-нежный, как аромат выветрившийся апельсиновой цедры. А также много сухофруктов с шоколадом, потом можно выцепить орехи и табак.
Вкус, та же цедра на первом плане, которая очень приятно кислит, шоколад, орехи и куча сухофруктов, особенно изюма, которые очень сладят вкус. И все это вместе с ванилью. Очень достойно.
Послевкусие долгое, что также положительно характеризует его. Много шоколада и орехов, чуть дальше табак и дуб.
Мне это виски напоминает коньяк, очень похож, не удивлюсь, если его перепутают на слепой дегустации. Очень сбалансированный и выверенный, для меня не самый питкий. Я бы его оценил бы гораздо выше, но по мне он какой-то "прилизанный"... без какой-то дьяволинки.
Но очень достойный и богатый экземпляр.

It's not the most typical whisky you can find. The nose offers some citrus due to the sherry cask as well as dark fruits, chocolate and some smoke.

Typical E150 filled marketing ploy. Might be appealing to many as it’s accessible and easy to define/understand, but look elsewhere if quality and challenging whisky is what you are after!

Dalmore is one of the wellworthy choise you can make.Smooth and delicate

Fruity light bodied whisky. mild warmth, no water or ice needed. excellent choice

General description

good

Nose

Palate

Finish

long

General description

Super smooth. Super sophisticated. Gently warming. It's like drinking half whisky, half sherry. Yet that almost seems to do it a disservice. This is a wonderfully grand drink. Good for everyday yet also one for any special occasion. A wonderful and very more-ish whisky.

General description

Sweet and delightful. I found had notes of dark sugary dried fruit like dates. A little out of my price range, but a friend got it half off and I was able to mooch.

General description

smooth

General description

Nice mix of wood and oranges

General description

Smooth but no real flavor or complexity. A good starter scotch, but not a regular purchase.

General description

dry. good flavours underneath but the dry wood held it back.

General description

Chocolate, not bad at all

Nose

full, fruity, chocolate

Palate

rich, fruity, dark chocolate

Finish

spicy, fruity, medium long

General description

Tasted blind. Nose is sweet but taste is dry. Not at all smooth. Very flavorful but too smoky for me. Good, but I have had better Scotch for less than $74.

General description

Warm colour and smooth taste. You can feel the sherry, but it's not overwhelming. Raisins and soft vanilla for a warming autumnal dram.

General description

little dry, cherry, oak, chocolate

General description

Perfect match with a Drew Estate Velvet Rat!

Nose

Vanilla, caramel, orange

Palate

Hint of orange, sherry, a touch of chocolate

Finish

sweet and spice, medium to long

General description

This 40% coloured and filtered Highlander Dalmore 12 found a place on my shelf because it came in with an online package deal including A'bunadh and Signet ao.
It matured on bourbon and olorosso sherry casks.

Alcohol is soft but feels a bit methylated at first nosing, after some time only nice stuff keeps coming up. Oak, orange and raisin are the strongest but are accompanied by a weaker almond, vanilla, coffee, marzipan, malt and sweet sherry. Lovely!

The palate also has a minor offset with some bitter oak present, but the lovely stuff rules.
A salty caramel and a lot of orange/citrus, cinnamon roll and sweet pipe tobacco. Mmm I love this part.

The medium finish is smooth with a thick teethcovering sweetness. A bitter coffee/choco and a nice vanilla orange cinnamon provide this one with everything a good desert needs.
But wat this drám really needs is a person who explains to Dalmore wiseguy Mr. Paterson that this one would have been a lot better of with a significant raise in abv.

For now this is a nice 3,5/4 star dram. But Mr. Paterson you have the key to make this one a real 4/4,5 star beauty.
I'm a bit anxious now to open my King Alexander which also has an abv of 40%.
Great asset of this one is it's beautiful bottle though.
I often see my kids staring at, and touching of the 12 point Royal Stag.

General description

Sherry influenced nose with orange, raisins and a slight hint of coffee. Very promising although it doesn't quite transfer to the palate. Very thin mouthfeel, the sherry flavours are present but it doesn't pack a punch. It's just a smooth whisky with nice flavours and a short to medium length finish and no alcohol burn. Beautiful bottle though!

General description

Sweet, raisins, cinnamon, honey, vanilla. the finish is slightly nutty and woody

General description

Very smooth and gentle. Hint of chocolate, vanilla and fruits, but finish quickly. Not bad for the quality with the price, but having a long finish could make it an excellent whiskey .

General description

A bit thin, a bit too sweet, caramel flavour in adition to the fruitiness from the sherry. Sweet fruits. Easy drinking. Desert whisky.

General description

General description

Nice taste

General description

fruity. smooth. easy sipper

General description

Lovely smooth dram with plenty of rich spiced fruit character.

Nose

Warm spiced fruits, a gentle citrus, candied cherries.

Palate

Rich & smooth; sweet fruits (peaches, orange), gentle spices build into the finish.

Finish

Lingering spices build gently. Fruity sherry flavours carry through.

General description

very smooth and sweet, awesome.

Palate

surprisingly much chocolate balanced with other "dark" tastes.

General description

Exceptionally smooth for a 12 yr. Excellent entry level. Some orange on the nose typical of the sherry influence. Sherry and spice on the taste. The finish leaves the palate very dry, so definitely needs water on the back end. While the extra dry finish is a little too much on the palate its definitely not a show stopper. Nice dram overall.

General description

Christmas cake and chocolate notes.

sweet, dark cherry chocolate notes

This is a very sweet whiskey with a lot of dark fruit notes, primarily raisin. A little expensive but will not disappoint if you like sherried scotches.

First Dalmore. unique Sherry and orange notes. smooth and aromatic.

General description

Really nice finish, fine taste. Great dram to keep around.

General description

first dalmore. easy to drink. subtle. clean finish.

General description

Interesting taste, but I expected more for that money. Glenfiddich is almost halfly cheaper, but is somewhere elsewhere... But as a gift it can be...

General description

My first whisky EVER! Fruity and easy to drink.

General description

An excellent dram, and available at a surprisingly affordable price. The flavor is complex and strong, evoking thoughts of a warm seat by a wood campfire.

General description

good. very special finish. interesting.

Nose

walnut and almond with a small pepper. a woody apple surounded by a little tomato sauce and licorice

Palate

round with hot attack all around and a long pepper on the boarder of the tongue.

Finish

pepper and oak. quite dry way. with some mineral feeling melted to caramel.

General description

great bargain fot the price. A wonderfull introduction into Dalmore world of single malts. Nose: sherry and plum, Palate: sandalwood, Finish: spicy

General description
