Dalmore 1973 30 Year Old Sherry Finish
Dalmore 1973 30 Year Old Finish price
70cl / 42%
A very special 1973 vintage whisky from Dalmore distillery, signed by master blender Richard Paterson. This whisky has been matured for 30 years and has spent time being finished in sherry casks which previously held Gonzalez Byass Sherry.
£11,000, my friend. Colour: Dark gold, lighter than the 1992. Nose: much more oak, which may come from the finishing in bourbon. There are spices like in bourbon, a little nail polish remover, then plenty of coconut and vanilla pods. What’s unusual is the layer of red berries beneath all that, especially blackberries, blackcurrants and raspberries. I also find ripe figs, as well as this gingerbread that already was in the 1992, while the notes of freshly sawn American oak would never quite disappear. Dalmore 1973 30 Year Old Sherry Finish
With water: they come even further to the front. Chocolate, ginger and green pepper. Mouth (neat): really, it’s very ‘bourbon’. It reminds me of one of my favourite – if not my favourite – bourbons, Willet’s Kentucky Crown 16 yo. The oak shows more and more, you have to like that. With water: takes water well, but the oak’s still calling the shots. Finish: of medium length, curiously bready. That’s the oak again, I guess. Comments: a curious oaky combination. I think it’s very, very good whisky, and I’m not sure we should always try to put any tipple on its square, but all I can say is that I liked the 1992 bette
