The Dalmore Constellation 1971
Country: Scotland
Region: Highlands
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 43.9%
Score: 94 Points
This 40-year-old Dalmore was matured in an ex-Bourbon cask (Cask #2), and the nose has classic Bourbon notes of honey, vanilla, oak, brown sugar, and dark chocolate, along with touches of nutmeg, cumin, and marzipan. The taste starts off subtle, but builds up a nice spiciness with notes of clove, cinnamon, and black pepper that fade to reveal softer honey, vanilla, banana, and coconut touches. The finish is long and smooth, as slowly fading spices linger with a delicate sweetness of honey and vanilla mixed with a slightly bitter touch of dark chocolate. Excellent! (October, 2014)
