Dalmore Vintage 2004 10 Year

Every 10 thousand years, when the sun places itself in the middle of the galaxy you get to taste..... A bad Dalmore. Bottled at 46%abv, this is a 10yo dram, with a vintage year: 2004. And its horrible. Dalmore is known for its sherriness, but it seems this whisky has only been matured in ex bourbon barrels. On the nose: Milk, Herbal liquorice note, Hanuta, Hazelnut, Orange caramel. Not bad at all. On the palate: Chili. Almonds. Acetone. Way too spicy chili and wasabi. This is not dalmore. This is not sherry. Not enjoyable. Aftertaste is not pleasant. Hot oak. Spicy chilli. Way to spicy. Off-putting. Overall this is a total disaster, specially for a Dalmore. This is the exception to the rule, 56 over 100. Avoid it.
