So I’m back in London. Not right now, in the past. At Cadenhead’s. Again, in the past. I’m in Canada now.

Anyway, I’m there, looking over these minis that I want to try, and I notice a Dalmore. And it doesn’t have that normal Dalmore red hue. So I’m intrigued. And then the shopkeep informs me that it is, in fact, a Dalmore that has only ever been in a Bourbon hogshead.

Sold.

Dalmore Distillery 1992 Authentic Collection 22 is a definite buy, but not for the normal reasons. I’ve only ever had one Dalmore that I really, really enjoyed. However finding a Dalmore that is not finished with Sherry/Port/Red Wine/The Tears of Children is very hard. They don’t tend to do that. Probably for a good reason.

And finding one that is Cask Strength will cost me selling my wife and cat’s into slavery. Which I’m against, in case…
