TOO EXPENSIVE??? Is Dalmore 12 Still Worth the Money? 

Forget about the "tad bit more" and get a whole lot more by finding the independent bottlings like the Alexander Murray & Co 15yr Dalmore 1999 @55.6% for $120 or less, blows the Cigar Malt & 18yr out of the water and although I havent the King Alexander Im willing to bet it defeats it hands down as well. Dalmore brand is like Hennessy or Remy Martin, they offer an overpriced, muted, watered down house style that they market to the consumer for big bucks as luxury product. Yes, they do make and possess highly delicious spirits but because of their brand goals the consumer will never taste those as official bottlings for under $1000 when you can find equal value products in the $60 to $120 range.

If you want a sherry scotch try glenallechie 12 as it is about £50 and fantastic

I have almost bought it a few times, but the price has scared me off.

Nice review, how long do you let your pour sit in the glass before you go in to start nosing and tasting? Cheers!

If I have you $75 to buy Scotch, would you pick up this Dalmore? Or something else?

I definitely like it, but at 100 bucks a bottle in my neck of the woods there are other bottles that I'd put ahead of it.

Still good stuff despite 40% and E150

Excellent review, for $75 this would be a pass from me. If you like peated whisky, look into the Port Charlotte 10 year, in my opinion, it beats the pants off Ardbeg 10 or Laphroaig. In fairness, the Port Charlotte is a little more expensive than either Ardbeg or Laphroiag, but again (IMO) it's money well spent.

Great review. I have not tried the Dalmore 12 yet, I do like whisky aged in sherry cask. Maybe when the tariff drops off it might be worth it. Thank you sir. Cheers!

Was tempted earlier in the year to get the Glenmorangie Tale of Cake, which was around $89 in our area...prob purchase that before Dalmore 12.

Got it for $63 and I love it

It’s a solid $50 whisky, my local has it for $65 and I have a bottle still unopened I bought for $50, but as it goes up in price I find myself looking at other options. The 15 year at $140 I bought one time and won’t touch again, nor the 18 year at $200.

I think they are making us pay for the 12 year age statement. Personally, I would not pay $75 for something with a watered down mouth feel. I do like smooth finishes with minimal burn, but I agree that 40 percent APV is certainly on the low end. I would likely find myself drinking more of this than I should, just to get anything out of it. Thanks for the shout out!👊

It is only 60.00 here in Oregon.
