Dalmore Port Wood Reserve

An experiment from one of my favorite distilleries, this Port Wood Reserve has been matured first in American ex bourbon casks and then finished in Tawny port pipes from W&J Graham. Bottled at 46.5% a good strength for a whisky. Tawny color. On the nose, Coffee, Sawdust, Orange, Coffee beans, Burnt cake crest. The higher coffee note i have ever picked in a whisky ever. Tiramisú, even the cream of it. After first sip it goes powerfully citric. Dark chocolate so heavy. Cocoa. Wonderfully complex on the nose but not perfect. On the palate, Oranges, Dark chocolate, Vanilla powder, Oak, Tobacco and Ginger. A little power due to the abv. Aftertaste is spicy. Oak spice and ginger. Some bitterness from tobacco or Dark Chocolate. Overall this is a good whisky, pretty interesting, it can be wonderfully paired with some dark chocolate with 70% cocoa on it. 89 over 100.

Excellent

Nose: distict notes of book binding with faint undertones of dried fruit. Palate: A nice balance of brine and mash sit on your tongue with little to no noticable heat. A very distracting lingering mash feel on the back of the tongue brings me back for more.
