Whisky Magazine Issue 7
Millenuim Tasting - Economics of Wood - Dalmore - Bourbon uncoverd.
Published December 1999.
Michael Jackson
67- Nose
- Very fresh in both its heathery peatiness and its juicy, sweet, sherry. Appetising.
- Palate
- Sweet, flowery, honey-syrup, butter, toast and butter.
- Finish
- Cinnamon. Lightly spicy dryness. Well-done toast. Gently sustaining.
- Comment
- Slightly sweeter, fuller and more structured than an earlier (younger) version with no age statement.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- Stunning: oak and hint of marzipan and cherries. The malt is sweet and multi-layered.
- Palate
- Initially light with sweet cereal notes and then the oak kicks in to add a drier dimension.
- Finish
- Toasty with hints of hickory and chocolate fudge. Quite long.
- Comment
- A substantial malt, which on the palate does not match the complexity of outstanding nose.
