Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
This Dalmore bottling spent 12 years in a refill ex-Bourbon cask, then a few final months in a Pedro Ximenex sherry cask.
The combination works well, with a nose full of toffee, figs, brown sugar, caramel, red grapes, roasted cashews, and dark chocolate. The taste is thick, mouth-filling, and well-balanced with mild cinnamon and white pepper spices, toffee, and a sherry/brandy-like influence of Christmas cake, sultanas, honey, and cooked fruits. The finish is long and sweet with a cloying touch of cooked fruits. One of the best independent bottlings of Dalmore that I’ve tasted! (September, 2013)
