Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask Dalmore 1996 (16 year old) 50%
Refill Bourbon Hogshead/ Code: OMC2261/ HL9816
Dist: Oct 1996 Btl: May 2013/ Tasted: June 2013
A truly beautiful nose of butterkist barley with hints of honey and grass. Wonderfully deep with a light minerality and a touch of citrus. This must be the most elegant Bourbon oaked Dalmore I have come across!
The palate is full and juicy opening with crunchy honeycomb, barley and some gently sweetened honey. It displays a lovely maturity with hints of straw and flax on the middle along with a touch of white fruit and apricot. Amazingly long, grassy and citrusy with a seriously stony finish. However the balancing honeyed sweetness is ever present. This is divine!
