Day 10. Dalmore Port. As you may know, I'm a sucker for Port finish, but so far the 2 non peated port finished whiskies I tried both have disappointed me (this and the other was Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban...but I might need to revisit that one outside of a Bar setting).
The nose is very faint, bit of coffee bit of the usual malty notes, and some of my beloved dark fruits.
Taste is equally disappointing. Dark fruits, a bit of honey, some coffee bitterness and the typical barley malt note that I tend to get from Dalmore. Not very exciting, not very delicious and all in all rather uninspiring.
Aftertaste is a bit of bitterness and some fruit mixed in a non coherrent mess.
So far, Dalmore fails to impress me. This is another failure. At least tomorrow is bound to be good...not sure if I can deliver a tasting note tomorrow though, got a dentist appointment, depending on how that goes....but with what's in store, the taste might be the same (tomorrow is Lagavulin 12 day).
So yeah, cheers. I'm gonna pour me a glass of Laphroaig 10 to get a more interesting taste in my mouth.
