Review Date: 12/2015Caramel and toffee lead the nose, alongside a puff of smoke. The palate is robust and velvety, with dusty notes of cocoa, unsweetened chocolate and caramel. The finish is dry and complex, with hints of tea, leather, cocoa, cigar wrapper and vanilla. The producer says it's the only single malt in the world to incorporate six different cask finishes: former Bourbon, oloroso Sherry, Madeira, Marsala, Port and Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. (KN)

Notes
Dalmore's multi-wood expression has become a benchmark whisky in the range of the luxury producer of single malt. Long aging in Madeira, Marsala, Jerez, Kentucky, French oak, Port, and ex-Bourbon barrels makes for one of the richest most complex malts on the shelf. Big, ripe, and fruit-forward, but with a zippy maltiness that keeps it lively through a long peppery finish. The King Alexander III is as balanced as it is luxurious.
