Excerpt: The taste goes even deeper with the fruit and spice and brings a sense of mulled wine. There is a bright acidity throughout the dram which helps to not make the whisky fall flat.

House Review
Intro:
This is the older brother to Dalmore 12, both are age stated releases in Dalmores core line of products.
Nose:
Sweet caramel, sherry and raisins. Like sweet raisin bread. Some cinnamon.
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel, not a lot of heat. Some oaky bitterness, clove, sweet vanilla. Very bourbon like combined with the sherry notes. Like a big loaf of raisin bread.
Finish:
Short but pleasantly sweet, sherry is most prominent here.
Overall:
This is good, but not overwhelmingly so. It's unique in that it tastes like a loaf of raisin bread but it doesn't wow me.
