1995 Dalmore Single Malt Whisky (Lafite Barrel finished, bottled in 2017)

This single malt whisky has medium copper colour with some red tinge. It has close to pronounced level aromas of caramel, malt, dates and trace of ginger, orange peel, raisin and cedar. Water brings out some floral notes. It is dry with medium acidity, medium level well integrated alcohol, quite full bodied with oily mouthfeel. On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of honey, ginger, nutty, bitter almond and trace of cedar. Fairly long length with dried fruit finish. (92) Keep changing.......

也是一個難得的品飲經驗。 如果說是受拉菲桶的影響，那應該是木桶味道有少少不正統的感覺，像是松木似的。 酒底像普通的單一麥芽威士忌，但背後有着一些生果和干邑的香氣，很特別。強度及複雜性也很好，在餘韻中更展現出較強的乾果感，很有趣。十分成功反映出紅酒木桶的影響，但似乎與拉菲沒有特別關係。

有點點拔蘭地的感覺，濃厚的果香，頗重口的，餘韻長，果味太熟而導致感覺很甜。這酒較合喜愛重口味的人，但好像沒有了威士忌的特色似的。
