On the Nose: Honey, walnuts and toffee with some wood notes in the background. Dried fruit as well. Water definitely opens things up a bit, making things a touch sweeter (just don't drown it).
In the Glass: Golden Brown.
Taste: Definitely some nuts going on here, almost like it was matured inside a huge hazelnut shell (and this isn't a bad thing).
Toffee and caramel flavors dominate the finish, though this one finishes more bitter than sweet.
The 10 year old Origin always tasted like it had to be forced out of its casks, kicking and screaming, begging mom for just a little bit longer... The extra 6 years shows that it was on to something.

I admire Richard Paterson's skills as a master blender - but the presentation of Dalmore, Jura and Whyte and Mackay is simply lacking what most Single Malt drinkers are looking for: natural color (E150a is heavily used), no chill filtration and age statements on all bottles. WHY? Dalmore and Jura have so much potential!
