Dalmore Port Wood Reserve

Blind tasting Nose: sherry wood, maple, brown sugar Taste: Spiciness, rich, reminiscent of glendronach parlaiment but complex/intense. Slight sour undertones (expect this might open up with time). A little hot, could be 8-10 yr or maybe NAS. Maybe port wood. Enjoyable but not so much that I’m feeling compelled to have a bottle on my shelf

Smells sweet and taste more of a full body. I get primarily chocolate raisins and just a bit of barrel spice. Not at all overwhelming. The barrel spice is a background note with a longer finish

A nutty aroma. Cherries, nuts and sweet pastries head the palate. There is some spice in the finish. The finish is long and pleasant. Great after dinner scotch! Has a permanent place in my home bar.

Initially a nice burst of port. As it opens the port lessens and a barley sweetness comes.
