Dalmore Valour

I had my first whisky tasting party yesterday to celebrate World Whisky Day, and i had some fine drams, one of those was this beauty, The Dalmore Valour. As the other Dalmore i had, (12yo), this one is Fantastic. Bottled at 40%abv, with a marvelous Mahogany Color. On the nose is so perfect, with the Dalmore traditional profile aroma, full of blackberry marmalade, cherries, christmas cake, vanilla, plum, toasted bread, tobacco and hazelnut notes. On the Palate is also great, offering those Dalmore trademark flavors: Oak, cough syrup, maple honey, bread and vanilla cake. Full bodied, the finish is medium with sweet notes. Wonderful Whisky, 89 out of 100, very recommended, suitable for a Family party or special occasion.

Sweet and fruity up front, a little sherry and a lot of dark fruits (plum & cherry). There’s citrus all the way through, but it’s most noticeable in the aftertaste. It doesn’t have a long finish, but what there is is quite sharp.

Fruit cake and buttery and spicy finish, warming.
