Whisky Review: The Dalmore 15-Year-Old
Whisky Review is a Scotch whisky. ABV: 40% ABV. Our expert rating is 9/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Straight away it is gently sweet and fruit-forward. As it opens up, notes of red grape skins, morning dew, brown sugar, vanilla, and lemongrass appear one after another.
Palate
The mouthful is exquisite, so soft on the gums and tongue as to nearly be unbelievable and leaving only the slightest tingle. Flavor notes include kiwi, mandarin orange, unfermented bread dough, and ginger. In addition, the residual flavors of the sherry casks are quite noticeable, yet restrained, sitting just under the whisky and providing a rich red fruit base which the other flavors build off of. Not a hint of peat or smokiness is present.
Finish
Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash Aged in American white oak bourbon barrels 15 years, then finished in a variety of sherry casks including unspecified Amoroso, González Byass Apostoles, and González Byass Matusalem Oloroso. 40% ABV
