This was my first dram at the whisky expo. There was a queue from the get-go for this experience. It's extremely complex, and probably needs a full bottle experience to get every nuance out of it. From first impressions though, the nose would drift from fruity sherry, to wine/port, to floral and even sweet vanilla biscuits. The palate and finish were sublime too, but overall a bit on the sweet end. It's like a catchy glam rock anthem that you are embarrassed to enjoy. 300 greenbacks? I don't know... maybe. There was an actual offering I enjoyed more from Dalmore than this one, so I think I'd save my money for that one instead.

Great review. I have a bottle squirreled away here somewhere. Glad to hear it’s a good one. Dalmore’s price tags always made me leery about purchasing them.
I rummaged through my sample list and found this and the cigar but no 18 sadly. Next order :-)
