Carlos here!!! i love your reviews and i usually do not buy anything before reading any reviews. you really give great ideas along with suggestion which i really love. anyway, i have tried several single malts, and now i find myself wanting to try the dalmore. here in Canada where i live the 15yo is only $25 difference compared to the 12yo and wanted to ask you if it is worth to step up to the 15yo. thanks for your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-47444830756365255032015-12-16T09:37:46.141-04:002015-12-16T09:37:46.141-04:00My favourite (of thoses you've listted) : Balv...My favourite (of thoses you've listted) : Balvanie 12!!

For example, currently the LCBO website indicates there are two different Japanese whiskies available: (1) Nikka Taketsuru 12 yrs; (2) Nikka Yoichi 10yrs.<br /><br />If we visit the BC Liquor site (bcliquorstores.com) there are three Japanese whiskies available: (1) Nikka - From the Barrel; (2) Nikka Miyagikyo 12 yrs; (3) Nikka Taketsuru 12 yrs.<br /><br />I suspect that there may be some Japanese whisky in Calgary too.<br /><br />But, you still have a point and that is it is very difficult to find Japanese whisky in Canada because the availability has only been recent. Why? <br /><br />I have a friend who deals with a provincial liquor corporation from time to time and he advises that the corporation could order in Japanese whisky, but that it is a lot of work because there are few distributors in Canada. This means contacting Japan from scratch and trying to do a deal. That's a lot of work. While there is some limited representation of some Japanese lines, provincial liquor corporations are still hesitant that the product will sell well. That was the case in New Brunswick. NB Liquor ordered in some Yamazaki 12 and 18yrs, after much lobbying by a whisky nut (not me, but an acquaintance) and they indicated they were unhappy with how quickly it sold. I think 200 bottles or so were ordered in and sold in about 6 months whereas they wanted it gone in 3 months.<br /><br />The truly great Japanese whiskies that makes one's heart stop and ponder life, the universe and everything are not available in Canada. I am thinking of Hibiki 17 and 21yrs. These are repeatedly winning awards, but not available here.<br /><br />. . .<br /><br />On another note, I need to buy a good SLR camera, but I keep blowing my discretionary income on whisky and Italian sport coats (Canali, Zegna, etc.) and now I am staring at a "Sartoria Partenopea" jacket on Ebay! Damn Ebay! I just picked up a custom jacket made by the House of Savoia in New York city. I have a growing addiction to Italian apparel that my require some counseling!<br /><br />Cheers!Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-72443114073275281122011-10-18T20:19:13.512-03:002011-10-18T20:19:13.512-03:00I like the last photo of Dalmore best.

Is it because of the cost?Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297393116796129135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-51208543794609145202011-10-14T22:09:34.847-03:002011-10-14T22:09:34.847-03:00Jan, I think Dalmore 12 is ok for the newbie, but ...Jan, I think Dalmore 12 is ok for the newbie, but it delivers little to the more serious scotch nut. It's a mainstream, easy-drinking dram that meets one's basic needs, but will not be making any top ten single malt lists in the near future.Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-7177034854487313692011-10-14T20:58:06.268-03:002011-10-14T20:58:06.268-03:00Hi Jason,

I found it gave away more nosewise after a week or so.<br />Here's what I though about it:<br /><br />Nose: Complex. Sherry ,Malt, Wood, Bitter Sweet like Orange Marmelade.<br />Strangely enough , during the first tasting session,I thought for a moment I detected a vague smell of cardboard boxes, you know the ones they used in the past for archiving documents. Very strange indeed! Couldn’t detect it anymore during the following tasting sessions.<br />Taste: Slightly hot delivery, Light Smoke , Creamy, Sweet, Ginger, Spicy. Very Smooth all in all.<br />Finish: Short but not bad at all with some toffee and pepper. Dry nuts in the end.<br />Conclusion: A very “ easy” single malt that will please beginning whisky drinkers. I recommend to drink it neat . When I first opened the bottle the Dalmore did not gave away all of its hidden secrets. This became quite clear when I tasted the spirit again about a week later<br /><br />Tip: If you like a bit of smoke, add a little bit of Bowmore to it!!!<br /><br />Saude<br /><br />JanJan, Sao Paulonoreply@blogger.com
