Last night we continued our mission of spreading the good word
of the dram, with yet more dramspanking dramfotainment in the form of one of our
Twitter trending Tweet Tastings.
This time round we sampled and savoured some of the distinguished
dramming delights on offer from The Dalmore distillery, which we enjoyed in the
order of their 15 Year Old, Cigar Malt Reserve, 18 Year Old and the remarkably
right royal rollicking King Alexander III bottling.
Here are a few of the tweeted tasted highlights from last
night:
@LRWhisky An initial mixture of burnt honey on toast with a little sprinkling of coconut. Quite liking this!
@WhiskyDiscovery
Getting the milk chocolate box notes now, all flavours coming out oranges,
toffee, coffee, fudge 7 nuts.
@rodbodtoo Tastes
very mellow. Malty treacle toffee (which BTW totally ought to exist) &
burnt orange oil.
@TheWhiskyWire
A winter spiced chocolate orange with a toffee coffee crumb.
Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve@MaltBox Toffee & Anzac biscuits. Quite punchy, hits of smoky bacon wheat crunchies.
@dvdbloke Dark
sherried fruits, caramel, chocolate, coffee, old leather notes in the
background.
@ifotou Dried
fruits with crushed coffee beans, touch of tobacco and nutty flavours, more
Brazil nut than peanut though.
@TheWhiskyWire
Sherried fruity sweetness merged with a tobacco'd citrus twang.
Dalmore 18 Year Old@TonyWTC Classic highland; spicy and sweet as the 15 but a little more discrete in revealing it.
@FrazerJ Orange zest & vanilla with marmalade & sultanas.
@JayDieNL There
it is... dark chocolate with sultanas.When I smell it, I visualize the
chocolate bar.
@TheWhiskyWire
A deliciously decadent depth of balance to the nose. A bourbon kiss & a sherried
cuddle, in no hurry to go anywhere.
Dalmore King Alexander III@Maltbox I get shreddies, maple syrup, red grape, liquorice root and marmalade.
@rodbodtoo Tastes
delicious. Mellow, yellow & red fruits (fresh not dried) a bit of bite,
subtle biscuity malt.
@WhiskyDiscovery
Light and very fruity, with a neat spicy edge to it. There's a Clementine
orange taste and lots of vanilla.
@TheWhiskyWire
An initial whiff of Jamaican ginger cake, cherry cough syrup & a foam
banana from the pick'n'mix.
