This was the belle of the ball at the whisky expo.. The King Slayer. The song "Raining Blood" comes to mind. I actually thought it blew the King Alexander out of the water, in fact. From the nose I could tell it was a sherry bomb, but I could sense that it was going to be balanced by other aspects as well. On the palate, I got fresh cut cigars, chocolate, vanilla, raisins, cashews, and mind blowing citrus. Finish is an all day/all night festival, and it was still going after water and a biscuit. In the words of Oliver Twist, "Maaaay, I have some mooore?!?!"

Awesome, glad to hear this one was good. I have several bottles from Dalmore and I look forward to opening them as an entire tasting one day. Too many whiskies, not enough time (or friends) to drink them. #firstworldproblems
Ah interesting. I was quite disappointed with the 15 and hadn't tried another dalmore since. I'll have to revise my assumptions and take the 18 year for a spin sometime :-)
Sounds great. So expensive though
