     Glorious Dalmore. Rich caramel, toffee, cherry goodness. Ahh. 
     Riverside Liquors put on a tasting that was entertaining and hard to replicate on your own. The expressions ranged from a 12 year to the Cigar Malt Reserve. Pictures of the event are in my pool with the other lost images, unfortunately. 
     Here's what we tasted:
​

*Dalmore 12 yr 40% ABV  Bourbon/Sherry aged
-smelled almost grape w/slight citrus
-tasted unsweetened chocolate, slightly peppery w/citrus notes
-trails oak
-with water smelled sweeter – caramel, slight toffee

Not as sweet as it smells.
