I have long awaited to taste this legendary whisky. Is it good? It is wonderful. Is it what i expected to be... maybe not. Lets start saying why is it so mystical. It has been matured in six different casks, six wood finishes: matusalem oloroso, port pipes, marsala, madeira, cabernet sauvignon, american white oak. Bottled at 40% abv, with a lovely mahogany color. On the nose it is outstanding. Just plain beautiful. Berries. Jam. Nutmeg. Wedding cake. Dark cake. There is a citric note there. Red fruits. Cold red fruits (winter berries). It is exactly as a cold pressed antioxidant juice that is sold here in Ecuador called "D'hoy frutos rojos". On the palate is where i expected more. I really hoped it will blow my mind away but was a little straightforward, somehow mimic the nose losing some of the complexity it had there. Still a great and interesting dram. It has that Dalmore typical wood flavor. There is a sweet but woody flavor. Peppermint. Reminded me a lot as glenfiddich 21yo winter storm, specially on the nose. I believe it is a little straightforward and not that complex. The aftertaste is eternal. Full ginger spiciness there. Incredible. My actual score for it was 95 over 100, due to this: Nose 25/25 Palate 22/25 Finish 25/25 Balance 23/25. Maybe i am too "picky" over this one because i had high hopes on it. It is a wonderful dram, i believe it is worthy for the $150-170 that it costs, and you should definitively try it, for me, cigar malt is slightly better. It doesn't feel as an old dram, i don't believe the six wood finishes fully get there, but as i said before, it is a wonderful whisky. Slainte!
