Anytime @FiShoop! Thanks for joining! 🥃

[Fiona Shoop @FiShoop]

With huge thanks to @TheWhiskyWire and @DalmoreWhisky, plus @ShakenStephen @HelloScotTweets and @ByTheBigMac for the 'deerest' @TweetTastings. Loving the Cigar Malt, think I deserve a bottle! #TheDalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

Incredible stuff @TheWhiskyWire! Thoroughly enjoyed!

[Steve Rush @TheWhiskyWire]

Before we finish with our final sensory story of the night, let’s raise a glass to Master Distiller Richard Paterson for five decades of all things Dalmore! Slainte Richard! @DalmoreWhisky #TheDalmore

@LeedsWine @TheWhiskyWire @DalmoreWhisky @TweetTastings It’s incredibly tricky to make! A real piece of whisky innovation! #thedalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

Absolutely! A real thinker of a whisky! So much going on, complex palate, coating texture and bold, sweet spice on the finish! #thedalmore

[whiskyrover - Mike @whiskyrover]

#TheDalmore KA III palate; Smooth arrival, light/creamy mouthfeel. Some spice and red fruit flavours, light citrus, a slight revival of spice on the finish.

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

The grand finale for tonight’s tasting with @TheWhiskyWire #thedalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@StillSurreal @TheWhiskyWire Peach melba 100%!

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@somewhiskybloke The expression is to celebrate the brands royal heritage. Lovely story and a piece of Scottish folklore!

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@somewhiskybloke King Alexander III was King of scotland in the 13th century. He granted the clan Mackenzie exclusive use of the royal stag as their clan crest after being saved by the clan chief from a charging stag in 1263. The Mackenzies ran the distillery from the 1860s and introduced thestag

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@TheWhiskyWire @DalmoreWhisky Loads and loads of fruit. Dark, red and stewed. Wee flash of passion fruit in there too. Fascinating whisky #thedalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@TheWhiskyNovice @TheWhiskyWire No i’m hungry! 😄

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@somewhiskybloke @TheWhiskyWire Hi @somewhiskybloke. It’s historically a wine term I believe that implied quality and age. It’s widely used in whisky (and rum) where there is no statement to indicate there is ageing despite no number on the bottle.

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@FiShoop @TheWhiskyWire It was initially intended to pair with a Partegas no. 4 Serie D, one of Richard Paterson’s favourite! It’s quite a robust cigar, I tend to go for something lighter but it would make an amazing gift! #thedalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@TheWhiskyWire @DalmoreWhisky Sticky toffee pudding and caramelised orange for me. Think the higher ABV works really well here. #thedalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@PhilScott101 @TheWhiskyWire Haha love this! Chocolate and honeycomb!

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@MrMDMaloney @TheWhiskyWire Absolutely! Equally great without a cigar too.

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

Watermelon! Certainly a tropical characteristic for me too! #thedalmore

[Fiona Shoop @FiShoop]

A wonderfully warm palate with Bourbony vanilla and watermelon, it's malty and rich with spices, including ginger. The finish is warm and full of spice, wrapped with ginger. Beautifully balanced, I need a bottle of this! #TheDalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

Loads of reference to texture, love it! Tannin can give a whisky a velvet, silkiness if natured properly. Here the cab sauv barriques really shine! #TheDalmore

[Stephen Martin @shakenstephen]

@TheWhiskyWire @DalmoreWhisky @the_nose Partegas no. 4 serie D in particular!
