Dalmore Cigar Malt

**6speedZ** · March 30th, 2007, 04:51 PM

Went to the store the other day to try The Dalmore 12yr and the manager talked me into buying the Cigar Malt instead (he knows me as a bourbon drinker). The Cigar Malt has an overpowering taste of bitter chocolate and smoke with a fairly dry finish. Even after a couple of beers the taste was still there to be enjoyed

. This was obviously made to be sipped while smoking a good cigar and I am sure the two compliment each other, but by itself it may be a little much.

The Dalmore Cigar Malt
Rich copper color. Sweet chocolate, burnt caramel, s***e, and oily nut aromas. A rich, round entry leads to a full-bodied palate with buttery toffee, brown s***es, roasted nuts, and nice dash of pepper. Finishes somewhat dryly with a dark caramel, chocolate and heather fade. Very rich and tasty.

Your review has convinced me not to try this

I have yet to find a scotch I really like, but I am determined to find one.

Believe me, if I had the cash flow, I would be out there trying all types of s***. But alas, I don't have funds to be just flushing away like that, especially with the price of good scotch.

Well I decided to give this bottle another try last night, but this time I added about three small cubes of ice and it was actually pretty good. The finish wasn't nearly as dry as before and the taste was quite a bit softer and more enjoyable. I still prefer bourbon, but I think I am starting to like this scotch.

Get some Glenmorangie Sherry Wood finish. Very smooth.

its a suprise sometimes how much a shot of water can affect the taste scotch.
