Sunday night just catching up with the DVR after a nice winter stew. A nice sherried whisky would seem fitting to compliment this meal. The nose is rich; sherried and fruity. Ripened plumbs, Concord grapes, blackberries, raisins, cinnamon, honey, vanilla. A nose worthy of time to take it all in. A sweet, thin and soft arrival. Fruitcake, nutmeg, honey, cinnamon spices. Butterscotch, bitter chocolate. The flavors are there, but not easily discernible in the thin body. A short finish delivers orange marmalade, cinnamon spice, oak. A wonderful nose that unfortunately is not supported by the body and the finish is even one dimensional. Though it may sounds harsh, it’s still a worthy and enjoyable dram. Comparatively less than Mac12 or Glenfarclas 12 and for the price the latter is a better choice. If Dalmore could embody the nose to the palate, this would be a force amongst sherried whiskies. Enjoyable, approachable, but a lightweight on the palate. [$59][85/100][Tasted: 2/18/18]
