Nose

Very ordinary sherry cask: off-key and unimpressive despite a toffeed sweetness.

Palate

Massively chewy and a little smoky. That off note persists throughout but is little more than a background screen against the delicious demerara sweetness.

Finish

Drier, still smoking, but some bitter tones.

Comment

This is not Dalmore at anything like its best. A miss, I'm afraid, for all its short-lived riches.
