Firstly, The proportion of sherry casks in this new ‘23 just went up from 30% to 50%. Colour: gold. Nose: starts all on coffee, roasted nuts and blackcurrant jelly, with good oomph despite the 40% vol. It’s very malty as well, getting more and more chocolaty over time, with also a little smoke and the trademark notes of orange marmalade. So far, so good. Dalmore 1979 23 Year Old Sherry Cask

Meanwhile, Mouth: amazing how ‘nervous’ this one is despite the low ABV. All on orange liqueur and milk chocolate plus marmalade and spices (notes of Chinese anise and cloves). Finish: rather short but balanced. Grand-Marnier Dalmore. Comments: not the most complex of all on the palate but I think it’s better than the former version of the 12 indeed. Good sippin’ whisk.
