My Notes
This is a great scotch. Admititdly I am still getting into scotch, so this is perfect for a bourbon drinker who wants to experience a scotch that isnt just an ash tray.
Dalmore 12, Sherry Cask is a great introduction into scotch where you get a powerful fruit forward drink with the scotchy peat you'd expect. There is some citrus, wood and cinnamon on the pallete and cherry and vanilla on the finish.
Drnik this scotch after a nice dinner, or in the fall next to a fire place. Savor and enjoy this one with the lower ABV.

How to Taste
With your whiskey at room temperature, put the glass near your nose and close your eyes and inhale. What do
you smell?
Drink a sip, just enough to cover your tounge and swish it around front, left and right. then down the
hatch. What do you taste?
If it burns a little, maybe try to add a couple drops of water. Otherwise, try again - usually after the
initial burn, you may get some of the flavors you are looking for.
