Not worth the price tag to me
Ok good to know Sweet?
A touch, but not much different from the other Glenmos to me. This one is sweeter and richer and more lush. You need to order this.
I know I still need to get a Sherry Cask or a Port cask Scotch thanks for the referral and I have been looking at the Dalmore Cigar Malt as wellA touch, but not much different from the other Glenmos to me. This one is sweeter and richer and more lush. You need to order this.
Since it was mentioned in the book? Made me go look at the price again myself.
Dalmore Cigar Malt tonight
1st impressions are better than expected. Based on box:
The nose is not quite as cinnamon to me but yes vanilla and some berries
The palate and tongue starts off sweet i get banana and oak and maybe mango or papaya? Super smooth
The finish is dark chocolate, pepper and Cabernet. Just a slight touch orange and a nice lingering warmth. Just beautiful and perfect with a Maduro cigar which enhances the spicy finish, almost hot and adds the smoke it needs and cuts some sweetness. So far so good dram #2 just proves that if a highland scotch and a good Cabernet had a baby this would be it. Very different for a scotch but very enjoyable

Thanks and about to start raining…. Again. May go in and see what the D&D er’s are doing as well
A little head to head.
The Kirkland has a bit more going on in the nose. More intense with butterscotch and tropical fruits. The 13 as a touch of a medicinal note.
On the palette the Kirkland has some young heat and a bite with a lot of pepper finish that lingers forever and dominates. The 13 has much more sweetness, with a much rounder flavor rolling into the peat and medicinal note. I’m not a big Caol Ila fan and this Kirkland is NOT for me.
