Douglas McGibbon Provenance Dalmore 2001 (10 year old) 46%
Bourbon/ Code: PRV0724/ Dist May 2001 Btl: Oct 2011/ Tasted: Oct 2011
A soft, slightly earthy nose with a hint of berry fruits in syrup, crisp barley and a touch of honey. Quite pleasant for a Bourbon casked Dalmore.
The palate opens with some lovely spicy honey followed by the intense alcohol. When that clears it leaves a fudgy/ toffee’d oak character. A bit on the short side but pleasant nevertheless.

Bourbon/Code: PRV0974/ DMG9051
Dist: June 2000 Btl: Mar 2013/ Tasted: Apr 2013
An earthy and slightly oily nose with hints of cereal and rose petal marc. Quite young with a touch of nascent oak.
Light and simple on the palate, again displaying a lot of oily, youthful cereal and marc-like notes. Some dried straw and malty, baked fruit comes through on the middle. Long and a little austere on the finish with hints of spice and cream.
