Firstly, The Dalmore distillery, located north of Inverness, was founded in 1839. Founder Alexander Matheson didn’t actually distill the whisky himself there; he immediately lease the distillery to the Sunderland family and they were involve in the operations until 1867. In 1874 Dalmore’s number of stills was increase from two to four; quite an exception in those days. After Alexander Matheson die in 1886, Sir Kenneth Matheson sold the distillery to its former operators; brothers Alexander, Andrew & Charles Mackenzies line used to be stunning, there were an 8, a 12 and a 20.

Further, The 20yo is Colour: gold. Nose: starts with wheelbarrows of grapefruit and orange peel, then a little iron and an obvious peatiness, a bit in the style of the old Bowmores (tropical peat, haha). Touches of scented soap (Dove?), a little gravel, thyme, cut grass… Keeps unfolding rather on more aromatic herbs, aniseed, dill, ‘old Ricard’, then rhubarb, olive oil, old sauvignon blanc (Mission-Haut-Brion blanc 1953 – and why not?)

Also, jamon iberico, more pastis, more peat, touches of damp earth… Amazing nose, but that was to be expected. Mouth: wonderful arrival, smoky and mentholated, quite peppery as well (with some cinnamon sweets), and then it’s rather an explosion of vibrant citrus and other tropical fruits such as passion fruits, pineapples… Many soft spices with delicious drops of tar liqueur and more and more liquorice lozenges. All right, let’s call the anti-maltoporn brigade! Finish: long, with more or less the same flavours plus maybe a little more peppermint. Comments: a whisky to marry. Nose and palate lived happily ever afte
