Mackillop’s Choice 1986 Dalmore Cask Strength Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 55.9%. Tasted at Malt Supper Club, $38.
Colour: A nightclub-infused pale gold.
Nose: Subtle orange citrusy aromas. Quite subtle though.
Palate: Very silky and smooth on the palate. Soft woody notes.
Finish: Straw aftertaste. Quite dry, medium length.
Comments: Softer than I thought it would be, not because of the age statement but due to the ABV. I certainly had expectations it would have a lot more depth of flavour being a cask strength release. Quite nice, but probably not worth the price. Overall, it’s not as interesting or tasty as other releases from independent bottlers I’ve tried recently.
