Aroma: 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.
Conclusions: Rich and pastry-like with brioche, cocoa powder and orange marmalade. With time, honeyed malt and fresh herbaceous notes are introduced alongside a touch of salinity.
Editor Choice: 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.
An impressively elegant and complex 12 year old from Dalmore. After 9 years maturing in ex-bourbon barrels, half of the aging spirit is transferred to 30-year-old Gonzalez Byass Matusalem oloroso sherry butts. .
