Dalmore Valour

Nose: Sweet. No, very sweet. It’s almost too sweet. With a lot of dried fruit. Sultanas, honey. Dried figs. Mint. A slight orange note, a bit of wood.

Palate: sweet nectar. Orange peel, sultans figs and some wine tannins. And chocolate sprinkled with some white pepper.

Finish : candied orange.dried figs and lots of semi sweet chocolate.

I can see why a lot of people will like it (It’s sweet, and fragrant, and those into sweeter whiskies will love it), but I can also see why some will not like this at all (NAS, too many wine finishes). I quite like the palate, while the nose is a bit too sweet for me, but It’s not bad. What I would like to see from the Dalmore is NAS at higher strengths, why not go the extra mile and make it say 50% abv? It’s young, and it would not make it much more expensive.
