One of Dalmore's travel fortuna merita collection today.
First opening of the year, and may be last for a while.
Dalmore Dominium 43%.
Stunning this.. Lots of fruits. Pineapple is one that creeps out from under the sherry, ginger cinnamon etc. Smooth and warming, and very, very drinkable. Too drinkable. A nice controlled finish too.
Lovely stuff.

That a tough one to answer as some of the wood used is exotic. They used their connections with Gonzalez Byass to draw from rare and valuable sherry casks. They were 30yrs old and you can taste all those fruits. Bloody marvellous stuff. Also good white oak giving some rich tannins in this..
Whiskies I am betting will be about 6 up to about 20 I think
This was my New years , I had a good 6 different bottles going into my blood.
I had a nice pour from all these and slept like a baby . For me it was a very happy start of 2021.
All whiskey buying is on hold as the truck needs a new transmission , I have both towed and hauled with it and hope it will go another 2,000 miles to 80,000 before crapping out completely.
The new one will be over built to last longer, the factory 4L60 was never meant to be for a truck . At least there have been after market parts made to tuffen it up.
After I get that covered I'll pick up another bottle of Dalmore . I like there flavor profiles.
all crackers jeff.. i wont be buying any for a while either. hope the gearbox holds up for a while
Maybe my last review this..
I've waited long enough to try this Ltd edition 16yr old from Fettercairn, and it doesn't disappoint.
Lots of berries up front teases the palate which is backed up with a traditional bourbon wood base and some delightful sherried raisins.
Cocoa and home baking there too.
Not a long finish but it's a nice controlled one.
This was made using what's called chocolate malted barley. Not many whiskies have used this but glenfiddich was one who did.
Doubt you'll find any of this years, but I think this will be made again somehow, so grab a bottle.
Nice bottle too.
Enjoy your whisky folks as life is just too short to just look [emoji4]

This is an odd dram.
Belgium single malt NAS ,
It has a huge amount of Bourbon influence and a Jamaican Rum like funk ,Vanilla, Toffee and pecans .
More like a dry Rum or sweet Bourbon. My palate is confused, it changes from sip to sip. Needed a few drops of water.
only had one belgian malt, and it was a 12 yr old. it was ok, but not on my buy again. your one sounds interesting tho with the beer finish
Opened this today.. A great sipper from Tomatin

Yep, the Tomtain 12 is a winner.
Some of my Christmas and Birthday prezzies..

Well it's whisky time. Had a stumble so topping up painkillers with this cracker from the 3 Drinkers. Their 17yr old min blended Scotch malt. Just a tickle of smoke in this but it's super. Pity it was only a limited as it would I'm sure sell very well.

cheers Robin.. hurt a rib and side of hand, plus leg.. i will live:)
ha, it was a cracker.. ones last night was as bad. totally believes in his infalability.. its always everyone elses fault. tbh celtic are playing a very dangerous game both with clubs future and his mental health... maybe that of its fans too.. all just my feelings of course.
Sexton. Nice and well priced drop of Irish. Improves with a little h2o.

It's not outstanding but can be had at a good price on occasion. I paid £23 each for 2 bottles a while ago. It's better than that although not in redbreast territory
Hope your feeling better Grant , easy dose it with the pain killers bud.
Deanston 18. New bottle https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...232a38dd54.jpg
lovely stuff this. thought i still had some in an opened bottle but no... stuff it i deserve it , and have some linkwood for afters... saturday nights fun again:)
Last of the 3 Drinkers 17yr old..
If they make another around this price.. I'm in.
The very slight bit of smoke is a bonus not a hindrance. I wouldn't want any more than is in it tho.

The end of this excellent whisky... Ive another bottle winging its way to me. This is the way whisky should be made. one of my favs, and a fabulous distillery.
trying this Gelstons Port finish.. 12 yr old and imv needs a bit of water. after water it opens up a nice finish on back of tongue of blackcurrents. medium finish and a jolly drink./ its right price of near £80 is a farce and the £40 i paid is about right.

A couple of decent sherried drams left in my bottle, so having one of them while dinner cooks.
super stuff this.. one of the top sherry monsters this an good value for a 15 yr old.. Glenallechie 15

Yeah, I think he'd love it.
Berry Bros. & Rudd Sherry Cask Matured - The Classic Range. It opens with concentrated oj and dried fruits, then in mouth, which has quite a nice feel, there are blackcurrent and marmalade. good spicy/oaky finish. slighty harsh, but for this price totally acceptable. An undoubted and unashamed sherry bomb.. For under £30 it has to collect 5 stars at least.

edit, a half teaspoon of o2 improves this nicely... this could, at this price become a stock bottle:eek:
I'm trusting you here Grant :) - £24 Amazon prime "free delivery"!
Prett decent price. I can't buy whisky from amazon as I can't prove I'm over 18. Crazy company
Not bought alcohol on line before - doesn't delivery driver just ask for drivers licence at door (or just look at you?)
