Dalmore 12 Year

For once a sherry cask whisky that isn't overpowering with the taste of raw match heads. Plenty of floral notes and depth. Love the dark color

Lingering notes of warm oak, smooth finish, takes you back to days of yore when young lads competed for fair maiden’s hearts and won triumphantly

Not super peaty. Nice flavor.

The expression “meh” comes to mind. Comparing this to other Scotch in my area priced within $10 either way, this is one of the least interesting I’ve tried. In fact I’ve enjoyed bottles nearly $20 cheaper more than this. It’s not bad, just meh. They market well and the bottle looks nice but I enjoyed Glenfiddich 12 &14, Glenmorangie 10, and Ardbeg 10 more than this and they’re all at least $10 less.
