The Dalmore 12 is another delightful addition to The Dalmore name and is a younger brother to the The Dalmore 15. The Dalmore 12 is aged for the first nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks after which half of the spirit is aged for an additional three years in rare and aged oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled at 40% AB. If it took me on a steam train journey through the hills and lochs to get me to the pineapple upsidedown cake, which sadly wasn't lightly christened with any cinnamon, nutmeg or dusted chocolate that I so wanted to experience from this, I'd have probably marked it higher than the Lagavulin 16, which I scored an 8.5. The Dalmore has a number of notable firsts. It was the first single malt exported from Scotland (to Australia) in 1870. For much of its history it has been ranked among the largest distilleries in Scotland. Its current production capacity of 4.2 million liters of pure alcohol still places it among the top quartile of Scotch whisky distilleries. A fresher sweetness than the Lagavulin 16 that I marginally preferred. It was that of a tropical or pineapple nature, rather than a honey, Demerara, molasses or sugar sweetness, but not as fresh as say, the sweetness of a crisp apple or pear.

On the nose; Straight away, images of caramelised banana followed by a strong pineapple upside down cake presence. With water to open it up a tad, it became more savoury for me, with no smokiness, but more unburnt charcoal. pdf) Imperial Blue Whisky Price In Pune | Imperial Blue 180ml, 375ml, 750ml, 1lit Whisky Price In Pune B and B-: Good and above average.

Matusalem is a type of Oloroso sherry that is sweetened by the addition of a little Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry, which is produced from partially raisinated grapes and is intensely sweet and syrupy. To qualify as a Matusalem, the sherry must be produced from a solera with a blend averaging at least 30 years old. The name is derived from Methuselah, the grandfather of Noah, who, at 969 years of age, was the longest-lived person in the Old Testament. Tasting Notes
