Dalmore has long been one of my favorite whisky brands, and a few months ago I had the pleasure of sampling the Dalmore Select Edition 2006. Released annually, this special edition captures the unique character of a particular year at the Dalmore distillery. The 2006 expression is aged for 18 years and matured in a…

The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve
I am a huge fan of Dalmore; I own their 14-year expression as well as their King Alexander III, which happens to be my favorite among their range. Recently, I had the opportunity to try their Poor Wood Reserve, and while I did enjoy it, I wouldn’t consider it one of my top preferences. Let’s…
Dalmore 12 Year Sherry Cask Select
If you’ve had Dalmore’s 12 Year from their core collection and you enjoyed it, well, say hello to their 12 Year Sherry Cask. Now, I understand that if you’ve had the original, you might be thinking, ‘Wait, wasn’t the original also finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks?’ And you would be correct. However, this expression is…

The Dalmore King Alexander III
I’m a huge fan of Dalmore and Saturday night, while attending a tasting event,I got the chance to taste Dalmore’s King Alexander III. This tasting event was crowded but the minute I tried this, oh my goodness it was as if the room went quiet and sweet baby angels came down from the heavens and…

Dalmore 15-Year
For the most part I never gravitate towards food or drinks that are sweet. Scotch wise, there are brands of whiskies I personally will not go near because they are too sweet. The one exception, Dalmore! Dalmore has always been one of my favorite sweeter whiskies. What separates this brand from others is the fact…
What’s your favorite whisky… Macallan. Have you heard that before?
Today instead of my normal whisky review I wanted to address something most novice whisky drinkers do. This actually includes a lot of my friends as well. Here is what I would say to them if we were having a dram together. If you are starting to drink whisky one of the best ways to…
Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve
I am not a cigar smoker or a smoker at all. I smoked a cigarette once in my early 20’s and then recall crying about smoking that one cigarette. It might have been the alcohol that contributed to my crying, but nonetheless I knew then that smoking was definitely not for me. The upside, you…
Dalmore 18 year-old
Funny story, a little over a week ago I went out to dinner with a good group of friends. One of them was telling me that he is trying to get into Scotch and recently found himself at a liquor store trying to decide what to start with. His philosophy during that time was to…
Chill-Filtration
If you’ve ever picked up a bottle of whisky that read non chill-filtered and didn’t know what it was, no worries my post today will hopefully help explain it. As I am far from a technical person, I wanted to provide a simple, quick, non-technical explanation everyone could understand, if they didn’t know already. For…
