Boy do I love the Dalmore Family of scotch. From Shackleton Blended, to Jura 10, to the Dalmore 12, 15, Cigar Malt and King Alexander, this 12 YO is it's most affordable well aged single available. A nice dose of burnt wood...my wife says smoky, but I get the burnt wood instead. Mid to back palate is complimented by dark caramel and a very smooth finish. What a great 12 YO. I'd buy this over any of the Glens out there. well worth it!
