Dalmore 15 Year Old Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 40.00%. The Terrace, $15.
Colour: Deep coppery colour.
Nose: Having been to the races today with a bunch of friends, as I attempt to dutifully undertake today’s whisky tasting there are jokes flying around asking me if this wins the best whisky contest “by a nose”. Not sure I agree.
Palate: Very light, gentle spice. Not as flavoursome as other sherry matured drams.
Finish: Smooth, reasonably short.
Comments: Towards the end of a relatively robust day’s imbibing, my creative writing skills have dried up. It’s the writer’s block equivalent of whisky dick. Certainly not helped by my friends trying to distract me in my whisky pursuit and attacking me with a couple of hobby horses which have been our faithful companions through the day. These fine steeds even wanted to get in on some of the Dalmore 15. You can lead a horse to whisky…
After these nags (the horses, not my friends) had French martinis at The Terrace, danced to Daryl Braithwaite then finished off with some fireball whisky…they can go out to pasture until next race day! Giddy up!
