Reviewed May 24, 2023 (edited May 26, 2023)Lets break the age paradigm forever. Spoiler alert, i have given a 100 points score to a 5yo whisky. Have you ever dream to try the heart of Dalmore? Well i recently did. I was in this incredible bar in Edinburgh called "The Abbey" and i saw a weird looking bottle that might be a Dalmore but i wasn't sure till i got closer. Somehow, a guy named Torsten Paul had bottled a 59.9%abv Dalmore with a 5yo age statement. He even got a nice bespoke label that looks printed in his own house. The Stagg crest was drawn in a crazy nice way. I said to myself, "nothing can go wrong here". On the nose, it has this aroma of a new make spirit for a second. Liquorice, and then boom and aroma of something that can only be described as fig liquor. Brown sugar and a Cherry marmalde which was fantastic, OUT OF THIS WORLD. On the palate this is one of the most delicious drams ever. Super winey and buttery, it is like the cherry heart. The second sip gave me an incredible red fruit note. Aftertaste continued to amaze me. Red fruit madness, liquorice, a lot of powerful spices. Red chilli bomb. The last sip... that was one great sip. It was exactly like licking a sherry oak stave. Marvelous. Overall, this is perfect. I don't know Mr. Torsten Paul, but if we ever meet, i am going to tell him that he bottled something really special. My friends, this is whisky. This is what a single malt is meant to be. I don't even want to brush mt teeth. My score is 100 over 100.
