Whisk(e)y: The Dalmore - 18 Nose: Vanilla and subtle dark chocolate are at the forefront. Palate: Immediately you can taste walnuts, subtle coffee ...almost with a cream to it. No heat on the tongue or when swallowed whatsoever. The Dalmore 18 is my favourite out of their line up. It has some complexity to it but nothing difficult to nose and tell from an experienced drinker. This is a worthy dram with so much taste. It’s bottled at 43% which makes it quite smooth and approachable from The Dalmore 12. I highly recommend buying a bottle of this. No need to buy a dram at the bar. Great for any collector or someone venturing into the Scotch field. This one lives up to the name and the hype...just not the price tag difference from The Dalmore 12. Yowza! Cheers,
