DESCRIPTION:
Launched in late 2008 to replace the previous 12 year old, this single malt from the Dalmore distillery is a toasty, coffee-rich dram with beautifully spice notes and a thick mouthfeel. Very rich for a 12 year old.
TASTING NOTES:
Nose: A warm coffee house in Seattle; roasting beans, the oily nuttiness in a fine espresso, there are little notes of malt and cereal and butter from the pastry counter with rich orange from the fruit bowl on the counter.
Palate: Notes of Seville marmalade and triple sec with winter spices and fruitcake. Zesty cocoa and milk chocolate.
Finish: Medium, oranges.

Die volle Aromatik alter Sherryfässer mit tabakiger Grundnote und Trockenfrüchten macht sich unmittelbar breit. Am Gaumen geht es analog weiter, ein anflug von Rauch bereitet das lange Finish vor.

Matured in bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry casks. Tangerines, barley sugar, milky coffee, soft toffee, and sweet sherry on the inviting nose. Orange carries over to the palate, with spicy dark chocolate, ginger, and cocktail cherries. The finish features vanilla, long-lasting dark chocolate, and prunes.

Opening whiffs detect scents of toasted cereal grains and biscuit batter; air contact stimulates deeper aromas of peanut butter, buttered popcorn, wheat toast and lanolin. Palate entry is sweet, maple-like and sappy; the midpalate features oily flavors of roasted nuts, sautéed butter and nougat. Ends on a nutty, near honeyed note, with a trace of cigarette tobacco.

The nose is aromatic, finely tight and offers a fine complexity and richness. It reveals notes of dried orange zest, dried lime zest and a touch of dried strawberry combined with a discreet hint of Sandalwood, hay as well as a very discreet hint of stewed white fruits (in the background), chocolate and spices. The palate is aromatic, well-balanced, precise and offers a fine unctuosity, straightness, precision, fat and a good structure. On the palate, this Scotch Whisky expresses notes of white fruit, pâtisseries and dried orange zest associated with a subtle touch of coffee bean, Sherry, sandalwood and a subtle grilled hint (in the background), vanilla and a hint cigar box. Good length.
