Dalmore 12 Year Scotch

Now, without further ado, here’s this week’s worthy single highland malt scotch: The Dalmore 12 Year from the black isle.

This whisky has an attractive golden mahogany hue that looks enticing from the start. There’s just something about dark single malt that I can’t resist. The nose is certainly intense and appropriately so, yet not without finesse. The malt tones are accompanied by notes of orange zest, cherry and oak. It also strikes me as slightly sweeter than other single malts.

The palate is full-bodied and full-flavored; there is real substance there. Rich citrus zest notes accompany the malt, spice and cream toffee notes in a well balanced fashion. The finish is equally smooth but full of flavor, with some notes of vanilla and sweet licorice as well.

Dalmore Label

I found The Dalmore 12 Year single highland malt to be full, fine and extremely satisfying. A great scotch deserving of the highest HumiBlog honors.
