Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve

One of our local liquor stores accidentally got small 100 ml bottles of this whiskey. I want a full size bottle of this magical elixir. The best part for me was the nose. Brown sugar, toffee and chocolate caramels dominate the scent. It's kind of like the smell of a family owned candy shop hidden just off the beaten path. The taste is even more of an elegant candy shop than the nose. I got heath bar, roasted pecans, butterscotch pudding with a bit of salt, and buttery Belgian waffles. (I think I'm making myself hungry.) The finish just gets better. It's creamy a sweet kind of like creme brulee with fresh pralines. There is also an odd, but very subtle smoke, kind of like incense. Once the finish was done I wanted more. I wonder how this would pair with deserts?

Great with a Padron Cigar!

I had two drams this night. Both were absolutely amazing. The first one was this marvel, Dalmore Cigar Malt. Not what you think for the name, since it has no peat at all, but such a delicious dram. Bottled at 44%abv, tawny color. On the nose is amazing, but it is not the best part. Christmas cake, Honey, Lemon pie, Oranges, Vanilla, Caramel, Orange syrup. Wonderful. On the palate is OUTSTANDING.Orange, Oak, molasses, Caramel, Tobbacco, Pickles, salty, the most Thick dram ever. Ashy long finish. Very balanced This is an enhaced Dalmore 12. Fantastic. Overall i give it a 97 over 100. Absolutely recommended. Slainte!
