Very nice review, Mark! I've always wanted to try the Cigar Malt. Maybe in 2019😊 Cheers brother
Hi Richie thanks for the comment my friend. I hope you find it at a reasonable price!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
I’m first time watching Your video Mark, I have to say I like it a lot :) You’re giving a deal information and You are very calm, I really appreciate all the effort You are putting into this video. Great job Mr! Thank You - ( Your new subscriber )
Hi Jonathan sorry for the delay. All I can say is MASSIVE THANKS!! Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Wow. Need this.
I think you do. Just pay less than I did for it!
Cheers Rob🥃🥃🥃🥃
I have two of these, paid 70USD equivalent each about 2 years ago maybe. Prices have since gone up to 140USD and even slightly more at some stores. Great review, Mark. Cheers!!
Good buy, Jacques. That’s hilarious. The UK sites still sell it for a reasonable price. Thanks buddy!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
ps serious winter weather here already.
Recently opened a Vintage 2007 Dalmore 10 yo and its amazing, 46% abv and the pinnaple & orange notes are dominant, its delicous
That sounds right up my alley Italian Driver JB!
This is only my second Dalmore - the first was 15 year old which I smashed. I’ll be on the lookout for more Dalmore including that one!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Mark
Wow can't wait to try this one with my cigars i order up bottle out of Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 for $145.00 last night on line
pairs quite nicely - either complementing a softer cigar or contrasting with a robust stick.
Here’s a video of me trying a My Father Le Bijou with this and a few other whiskies. ua-cam.com/users/livevbezi4B4a9k?si=KrOx6W5DB8KSW7hd
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
@WhiskyWhistle ya wow awsorme I got few of the My Father Cigars n my collection I also have that one u smoke 👌
@WhiskyWhistle well got a email on the shipping today on this bottle and it's got ship out today from Calgary Alberta 🇨🇦 😜😉🤗😍
Excellent!! I hope you enjoy it!!
I don't have a ton of experience with Dalmores, but I do prefer this over the 15. First tried it maybe 3-4 years ago (it is available here in QC, Can) and have had a second unopened bottle in my basement for a while now. BTW, I have tried it while also enjoying a cigar(illo), and it certainly is a good match.
Good call Whisky Canuck and long time! Hope you’re well.
I must record a little pipe or cigar and this Dalmore on a mild day.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
I started crying a little when you said "broke the bottle". I've enjoyed the odd Dalmore in the past, but with prices continuing to climb (especially here in Sask) I'd rather spend my money on other drams that are higher proof and less monkeyed with. Good review as usual.
Haha yeah I was bummed. 60 USD for the 15 too. A litre.
I wonder how prices differ in SASK.,have some stores privatized?
Cheerd🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
I'm not in a big rush to try this... I wouldn't say no if someone were to offer me a dram, though.
It’s the Dalmore stigma. This ones different!
Cheers FQ🥃🥃🥃🥃
I would like to try it with one of my highends out of my humidor
Given the sherry and wine influence along with the malt it should be a match made in heaven!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
Hey Frank - tried it with My Father Le Bijou torpedo: ua-cam.com/video/vbezi4B4a9k/v-deo.html
If I get a Dalmore, I’d grab this one or the Port Wood. I’d skip the age stated ones given how much Dalmore tinkers with their whisky. Cheers 👍
Good call Rog. I hear there is a litre bottle bottled at 46% for a reasonable price.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
Bronco Rog I’m drinking this paired with a partagas no4 and wow. Very nice pairing.
Awesome review Mark! I almost bought this but I just think I am truly not a fan of the plumy tasting distillate spirit that Dalmore produces...plus they use way too much color:)
Thanks Keith! Hopefully I’ll have the scratch to send out samples soon.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
Congratulations on Review #280, well, a mini-Congratulations! ^_^
A quick question Mark, what would the Cigar Malt have to have for you to score it a couple points higher? I haven't had this yet, but a friend of mine seem to rave about some years ago.
Thanks Andrew! Don’t get me wrong it is good stuff! Only a couple points shy of my highest score. If it were 47 percent and had more older stock used it may have gotten a 93.
I am enjoying the bottle immensely!
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
@@WhiskyWhistle Good to hear from you Mark. I do wonder whether or not, if it was unchilled-filtered, and marked as such, would that make a difference? I know that question has two elements to it, but assuming it isn't, I wonder if it would be worth a point or two, if it were. Of course, I am not saying that whisk(e)y that is chilled filtered are inferior. I have had plenty of whisk(e)y that was chilled-filtered that were quite enjoyable. I just always wonder if those whiskies would be better if they weren't put through that process. Anyway, good review Mark! As for cost, I am still a bit under the "opportunity cost" mode, so I will save my dollars and spend it for a 21yo Redbreast, when I go to Tokyo in January and actually save a few compared to the prices the Dalmore Cigar Malt is selling at. :P
In the U.K. we pay the equivalent of 120 CAD for this (as of late 2019)!
That’s a very friendly price. It’s tough here but we now have some alternatives which helps a lot for things over $100 CAD.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Mark
Bordeaux Premier Crus that are primarily Cabernet would be from the Left Bank: Château Latour, Château Mouton Rothschild, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Margaux and Château Haut-Brion. So the box seems to be saying that casks from at least one of these wineries is being used to age the Dalmore Cigar Malt. Do you think this means the casks are from a top wine of one these wineries or could they be from second or third wines from one of the wineries?
Awesome info, Alan. They would use the best as those would impart the most character. Otherwise like many others they would simply say ‘French wine casks’ or ‘Bordeaux wine casks’ - every time I go back to this I truly enjoy it.
Happy new year! Cheers!🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
@@WhiskyWhistle Thanks Mark, they are using some very fine casks!
My pleasure! Yes, it really spoke to me.
🥃🥃🥃🥃
In Japan this is about 10,000 yen/under $100 US; the 15 Year old is under 9,000 yen.
It saddens me the price they change here. The kind of prices you mention will make everyone happy. They wonder why some brands don’t sell here. Everyone’s buying them in their travels!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
@@WhiskyWhistleYes, when I saw the price of whiskey in the US a couple of years ago, I was really shocked!
The Dalbored, lol. I actually enjoy this Dalmore, especially the older discontinued version. Dalmore's team seem to do a outstanding job picking rare European, French Oak traveling casks and butts plus pulling from well matured and influenced stocks and I'm sure the older version had very little bourbon influence if any at all. Still, I truly believe Dalmore needs to get away from the highly blended Single Malt. It is a dis service to Dalmore's spirit, It's a soft and complex whisky and crushing it in heavy wine maturation makes no sense.
Hilarious nickname. I wish I could try the older ones! Interesting thoughts - I definitely need to try more Dalmore old and new. Thanks for the great info as always Eric!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
The last time I had this (10 years ago) it was only $69.99 CDN, now this stuff is $170.00, I really don't think its worth the price, it might be good whisky but there are far better ones for far less money!!!
Thanks for the comment! This one really spoke to me - as mentioned it reminded me of the Glendronach 15 which was 80 I think before it disappeared. You can definitely say it’s a tad overpriced. I think it would be nice if it were priced closer to Macallan editions or Glenmorangie private editions. I paid 205 plus tax in Manitoba(ouch) and the ‘Morangie is about 160 plus tax here(it should be 140)suffice to say I’ll be arranging my purchases for 2018 from elsewhere except if on sale here.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Mark
First
Yes! TY Rob🥃🥃🥃🥃
One of the worst whiskys I’ve had. Cough syrup to the max. I stored with some air for now 6-7 months and will likely decanter a couple of times in 3 months and try again
Sorry to hear you didn’t like it. It could be a bad batch, or it could be your preferences. Have you had other Dalmores? I know a lot of whisky geeks like me aren’t Dalmore fans, at least not for official bottles. Hopefully you can trade if it still isn’t up to snuff - that is not a cheap bottle! Best of luck either way.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
91 for the malt that Ralfy hated so much that it put him off Dalmore for a long time. Interesting. All I can say is that I find Dalmores overinflated marketing and prices and underwhelming quality ridiculous. Id rather go for Springbank or independent bottlings where quality is the marketing
Yes, that’s my independent, unbiased opinion and score. In my opinion it is priced ok for its quality. I paid too much being in Manitoba but $133 Canadian, which is the price in Alberta ( roughly the same in some American states and UK) makes this an easy buy. Just one man’s opinion! Take it or leave it. Ideally try it first.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Mark
WhiskyWhistle fair enough. Anyway I’m relieved that you can read my comment. I just realized that UA-cam deletes my other ones when about politics and the number of likes as well when they leave it up. Especially on RT and TYT and other alternative media. They are really monitoring us closely FYI.
