Continuing my adventures through the world of whiskies from independent bottlers, i have tasted a 1999, 15 year old Dalmore bottled at Cask Strength by Alexander Murray. This very good looking bottle (not as good as the proper Dalmlre distillery bottlings) has been matured in ex bourbon casks and Oloroso Sherry, and bottled at 55.6%abv. On the nose, there is the Dalmore DNA all over it, but fruitier. Prunes, green apples, the typical Dalmore orange note. Chocolate milk powder (formula), hazelnut, banana bread, almonds. Honey, marzipan and wedding cake, the expected glorius aromas from most single malts of this distillery. On the palate, it is delicious. Hay, hazelnut, and a spectacular chocolate. A very spongy Vanilla cake. Simple but amazing. Aftertaste is also great, with some figs, sawdust and peppery notes. Vanilla, almonds and ginger spice. Overall, i really loved this dram. It is like your standard 15yo Dalmore on steroids. The notes are very clean and well delivered. It is my first ever whisky from Alexander Murray and it impressed me. My score for it is 93 over 100.
