The Dalmore
King Alexander III Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Category: Highland Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted: 10/24/2024

Country: Scotland

Alcohol: 40%

Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of Scottish fudge, milk chocolate caramels, leather and dried red fruit infused pipe tobacco, and raisin bran cereal with maple waffles and cherry wood smoked bacon with a round, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, thought-provoking, medium-long finish with elements of figgy toffee bread pudding, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger with cocoa dust, strawberry nougat on dark chocolate, and caramel red apple in a tack room. Waves of fudge, caramel, and chocolate on the nose with beautiful complex spices and dried red fruits on the palate; an utterly delightful after dinner dram that will only be enhanced with a cigar.

About

Highland Single Malt Scotch

The Highlands consist of the portion of Scotland north of a line from Dundee on the North Sea coast in the east to Greenock on the Irish Sea in the west. Highland malt whiskies cover a broad spectrum of styles. They are generally aromatic, smooth and medium bodied, with palates that range from lushly complex to floral delicacy. The subregions of the Highlands include Speyside; the North, East and West Highlands.
