Dalmore 12 Year Old

I have yet to try a Dalmore, though whisky anoraks do seem to keep an eye out for independent bottlings from this distillery as there is apparently some excellent malt buried under the excessive dilution, e150, and chill filtration.

Yes I've heard the same stories. I think that the IB will be awesome to try and compare them to the whole Dalmore range. Thanks for your comments. :)

I own a bottle of the Dalmore 15. It has the distinction of counting itself among the worst tasting bottles I've ever purchased. I've heard much better things about the 12, although it is usually explained as being deliciously two dimensional and "great for beginners." That doesn't make me want to run out and buy one, unless it is a gift for someone. A bottle of the 12 year is $60 in Oregon. Kind of steep for a beginner's bottle, at least to me. Thanks for your review.
