I was surprised to discover the price after tasting this. It is ordinary fare that could have done with a few more years in cask.

Dalmore king Alexander III, 40%

Nose: New, expensive young leather shoes.

Palate: New leather with a very faint taste of slightly bitter raspberries.

Overall Impression: I was interested to see what Nick wrote in his note, as when I tasted this I knew the price and my first thought was "Not as good as I expected for a price of around €140". Dalmore are capable of some great whiskies, unfortunately, this is not one of them.
