Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep amber
air Nose
you’re in Jerez, sipping some old amontillado. Would you mind passing the croquetas? There’s a little oak at first nosing (warm sawdust), then walnut cake, quince jelly, mushrooms, pipe tobacco and crystallised oranges. Maple syrup, ganache, Ovaltine, mint tea. The composition works well, and is very ‘modern Dalmore’, with more chocolate and less exuberant fruits than in older bottlings (say pre-1980)
restaurant Palate
there must be some old casks in this. Lovely arrival, on rose jelly, earthy teas, Turkish delights and oranges, all that coated with chocolate and a little green coffee. And some caramel/praline. Roasted cashew. The oranges fight back, but the spicy chocolate never gives up. Good body, the strength is perfect
timer Finish
long, with a feeling of old armagnac, which cannot be bad news. The signature is slightly salty, with a grassy bitterness, some liquorice, a little mint. Old oak?
