There’s loads of malt but it’s beautifully combined and intermingled with dark, rich and gently sweet stewed fruits: there’s hints of mushy cinnamon apples with the smallest dollop of cream on the side. A really easy drinking old Dalmore here, in the best way possible… layers of flavour to sit and enjoy and while away an evening in mellow Dalmorey bliss.
