Millstone 12 Year Sherry Cask

A Dalmore Doppelganger. It reminded me of that internet meme of the two spidermans pointing at each other. Amazing dram. Delicious and almost a 5.0. Beautiful packaging too. Did i mentiom this is dutch? From the netherlands? A truly interesting single malt. Bottled at 46%. Cant remember the color i had too many by the time i wrote my notes of this. On the nose: it is a Dalmore! Wedding cake. Sherry, raisins, figs. On the palate: It is a Dalmore! Wedding cake, christmas cake, super oaky, candied fruit. Delicious. Finish full of liquorice, very pleasant. Overall i give this dram a 94 over 100 and i truly think it deserves more and i am not been fair here. Go find it.

This is an interesting distillery. There is the same note that goes through this dram similar to its brother I tried weeks ago. The distiller reviewer described it as marmalade, maybe that maybe a hint of cough syrup which is prevalent on the after taste. It's the type of note which makes me usually round down to a 3 and I can see how others might. I'm not sure even if the balance is quite there with the alcohol either but there is something I like about this. Even after that I was trending to a 3.75 but now I'm not sure. I'm thinking maybe a 3.25 with the aftertaste. I preferred its more boltchie rye based brother I think.

Similar flavours as the regular oloroso sherry Millstone but more rounded and not as sharp. Sweet dried fruits, baking spices, dark chocolate and charred oak.

Sweet nose cookie dough. Hot but has bourbon flavors
