My dad was licencee of a number of function suites many of whom were whisky orientated. Hence why i got into it, being often in charge, and able to sample to 100+ malts
had a glass(small) of this.. first for about 2 years... very nice it was too.. not especially sweet either, very smooth and a good finish. naughty me eh?:lol:Quote:

I never have gained a taste for bourbon - it just tastes like very poor quality whisky to me :(.

Dalmore King Alexander III Bottling Note
A sextuple-wood bottling from Dalmore. This auspiciously-named dram was matured in wine, Madeira, Sherry, Marsala, Kentucky bourbon and Port casks. King Alexander III is a rich, fruity Highland single malt.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose:*Malty and utterly Dalmore. Seville orange zest, Parfait Amour, malty cereal, barley and chocolate. Creamy vanilla fudge, tropical fruit with a vaguely vinous quality.
Palate:*Medium, rounded. Winter berries, spice, zesty orange. Liqueurs emerge; Grand Marnier, kirsch and Frangelico.
Finish:*Peppery with well-integrated oak and the claret makes a last minute appearance.
a pricey dram.. Let us know what you think:)
I would not buy it at full price.
I am travelling through an airport, and they had an offer on. So I bought the Mrs a bottle of perfume. This gave me 50% off a basket up to €300. So I took this and a bottle of Highland Park 16 Wings of an eagle travel edition or something.
The Mrs will be happy that I thought of her, but not as happy as I hope I will be with these purchases.
On the downside, the flight is delayed.
sounds a great deal. have heard talk the highlad park isnt what it was although not tried any for some time. it used to be very good.Quote:

In appearance, that reminds of me of a bottle of 'Hai Karate' aftershave from the 1970s:DQuote:
