Whisky Advent 2021: Day 19
Day 19 brings the other kid home from college, and a 12-year-old Dalmore finished in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry cask and bottled at 57.2% ABV. Nice, deep copper color, with a lot of dried citrus, vanilla, and ginger on the nose. Spice, sherry sweet, and dried plums and figs on the palate, leading to a nice warming finish where the citrus notes come out again. This is another sherry bomb, not surprising given the color. A hair sweeter than I prefer, but a nice dram for the night.
Tonight's photo is largely an exercise in "what haven't I used for a prop yet?"
