This dram was the last of a vertical Dalmore tasting that we just attended. For such an expensive scotch, weighing in at $280 or so a bottle, I was hoping for something more. This is similar to, yet milder than, the 18-year old, but it's too nondescript to justify its soaring price tag. The distinctive notes that distinguish it from its younger and less expensive siblings are a creamy hazelnut and toffee or caramel flavors that make this whisky seem like the least sherry-influenced of the bunch.

@LeeEvolved Who knows, you might love it! It's a subtle dram with understated flavors, more refined palates than my Islay-blasted one may find much to appreciate :)
I guess I need to go ahead and open my bottle and “get it over with”. Too many mixed/bad reviews to chalk them up to being “haterz”.
Johnnie Walker Blue Label reloaded ;-)
Such a shame. Seems like if you want a spectacular Dalmore you have to pony up for the Constellation Collection, but outside of royalty, I don’t know of anyone that can afford them
