Whisk(e)y: The Dalmore 15
Nose:
A subtleness of blackberry, current and cherry. It spends 12years in ex-bourbon casks and then the final 3 years in amoroso, matusalem and apostles. The final three years definitely gives this more depth and appreciation.
Palate:
Not as bountiful as the Dalmore 12, but distinguishes itself from being three years senior. It has a slight sense of dried berries which is welcomed on the mid to back palate.
Overall:
This is a solid scotch. Dalmore always has robust flavours in their products. I would recommend buying the 12 year over this but if you collect you may find it difficult to appreciate between the two unless you give equal time between the two variations to understand each of the different casks it lies in. It’s a great dram worth buying at the bar. You will not be displeased if you have never had dalmore. No burn, smooth as silk, but different from the robust 12 version. Worth purchasing and collecting.
