whisky review 354 - Imperial single malt (D.T. 19yo @ 53.1%)
Air date: 07/Apr/2013
Summary

. . . rarer than Port Ellen, more obscure than Scapa, more 'mothballed' than producing, this is Scotland's most elusive producing Distillery.

whisky review 342 - Dalmore 21yo (Signatory)
Air date: —
Summary

. . . not an official bottling of Dalmore, this Independent bottling is non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and cask strength, so it's just more naturally presented than standard official bottlings.

. . . a less familiar version of what is now a 'cult' distillery. If they ever revive Brora the purchase premiums will probably be rather like Lagavulin.

Summary

. . . at 169 ppm, this is regarded as the most heavily peated Scotch whisky ever produced. The peating level does not translate into phenolic power of flavour but rather phenolic complexity.

Air date: —
Summary

As some 'batch discrepancies' appear with some official bottlings by Distilleries, always worth checking the on-line review circuit for Independent bottling options. Some bottlings are poor, however real stars can also be found.

Summary

... a Supermarket Special, and for the price of £13.49, a good deal ! This is a decent, exciting young Irish character of considerable personality, and reflects the fact that some seriously good Whiskies are to be found out-with official bottlings. Incredibly, this Whiskey finishes sherbet and salty with cream soda hints.
