Don
Don,
One of the most balanced whiskys I've tried. Nose will pick up a slight smoke with vanilla and cherries. The taste is smooth and complex. No overbearing flavors, no bite.

Eric
Eric,
Very smooth, interesting flavor in the middle, not a fan of slight spice on the back end.

Antti,
It is a very good, rich, Single Malt Whisky with a rich & aromatic birth; while a rich & fruity life; that leads to a long & rich death with notes fruit cake& dark chocolate.

per questa vecchia volpe dei whisky,,,,note di frutta cioccolato e cacao nel finale un esplosione iniziale con le spezie e la quercia traccie di caffe iniziali ed arancio lo rendono molto morbido e non forte

Ryan,
Quite possibly the best scotch I've ever had.

Complex with dark chocolate, vanilla, oak and caramel. In the mouth is warm, mouth filling, spicy with long aftertaste

Отличный виски. Перец на мой вкус чуть резковат. Но, в остальном отлично.

Delicious, to be sipped slowly.
 
Ross

One of my favorite Dalmores. Makes you want some spice cake, a cigar, and a fireplace.
 
Joseph

Devlin
Devlin,
Gets the job done but there are many better tasting spirits out there for a better price.
 
Enoch
Enoch,
Oaky and smoky to start, but sweeter and more chocolate-y as one progresses through the glass. The finish is a little spicy, like a cinnamon coffee. Good, but not miraculous.
 
Stephen
Stephen,
In my top 10 but I don't think it's worth as much as the asking price is...
 
Rayomand
Rayomand,
If you can afford it, buy it. It is for those special occasions, when you want to sit back, relax and enjoy the you have done to earn this Single Malt.
 
Chris
Chris,
Decent flavor. Not my fav.
 
Pierce
Pierce,
Tastes more like a rum or a brandy than a scotch. Very sweet and fruity, very smooth. Low on smoke or fire.
 
Don
Don,
An enjoyable drink. I really liked the overall presentation of the beverage- enjoyed it only over ice and as the sipping extended so did the pleasant flavor. Very nice.
 
Jeremiah
Jeremiah,
Smooth. There is better available for less, but this would make an excellent gift/addition to any spirit enthusiast.

guest,
Better than the twelve, but for this money you want this quality. Better than 18's like Chivas, Gold Label and Glenfiddich. But you can buy better for less money. Happy with when I received this one as a present, but wouldn't buy it again for € 90 (Drankdozijn) or € 120 (Gall).
 
Stacey
Stacey,
Balanced but stunning aroma and very engaging. Initially the fruit and green stem aromas waft with the alcohol vapors and quickly remind you that it is a brandy. Then it invites a taste. When it washes over the mouth organs, it is floral and hints of anise seeds and twigs, then leaves a slight apple and white peach suggestion before rounding to a medium perfume-esque finish. I would take this lovely treat on a date. Sophisticated and impressive.
 
Chris
Chris,
For an 18, it's great, but for the money you can have the same experience with Dalmore's 15. Sweet, smooth, and refined.
 
Mark
Mark,
Excellent flavor. Significant hint of dark chocolate. Enjoyable experience.
 
Derek
Derek,
Honestly enjoyed the smell more than the taste. A bit too smokey for my taste and definitely had more winery notes than caramel and chocolate. Still very solid and a good choice.
