Watching the Iditarod finish, and I wanted a treat whilst waiting - Uncorked by newly acquired bottle of 15-year Dalwhinnie DE. Double cask-aged, darker and more rich than the usual. Very nice, but maybe a bit too much sherry? Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I just recently had a tasting of the generally available Glenmorangie range (10, 12yo sherry, 12yo port) and they were all fine specimens. I think I'd agree that there was more going on with the original 10yo. It's a good every-day single malt. |

I think I'd agree that there was more going on with the original 10yo. It's a good every-day single malt. Oddly enough, though I've tasted the Glenmorangie, I don't recall it well. That's another bottle sitting on my mother's bar - Will have to sample again.
Having tried the Dalwhinnie DE again, I'm thinking more that it was a mistake. Just too much sherry, which creates an almost 'over ripe' flavor, completely dominating the distinctive sweet/vanilla/heather/citrus lead, though the smoke and peat do manage to peek out from under the sherry at the end.
Not an improvement, and I regret the purchase. My earlier comment on this dram was colored by the fact that I was distracted.
Have to add Talisker to my 'to be acquired' list. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Yes, I'm coming to the conclusion that many of these Distiller's Edition offerings are gimmicks to pump the price. Diageo isn't the juggernaut it is for no reason. |

Though I will note that the Laguvalin DE is a welcome companion to the Laguvalin family. In that bottling, they got things right. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
