Dalmunach 2016 3 Year The Octave Duncan Taylor

(The Good Spirits Company, Glasgow - Virtual Whisky Tasting, Friday 14th August 2020). Nose: Herbal, vanilla, creamy, apple, and strongly honeyed. Pine nut & walnut. Palate: Hot at the first taste. Oily, pepper, smoky and woody. Quite fruity (apple & lemon). Alcohol heavy with the wood. Finish: Sour, silky, biscuity, buttery. Water gives a citrus note and increases the buttery notes. Overall, this is not a complex dram but it is quite pleasant. It stands up well for such a young dram. I’ll be interested to see what they bring out in a few years time. This came joint last of the six whiskies tasted with 0% of the vote for favourite.
