Perhaps you were missing the point I was making.
I feel it to be poor, but couldn't put it into the category of flattering to deceive as such because they are hardly charging extra for it being single malt.
I have bought bottles for £15 or £16 on special (for a lodge charity that I sometimes win and taste....I just donate that one back now)
As I say......Grouse can be bought for that price. Not a dig at Glen Moray.....I havent tried their other stuff....perhaps I now will (I dont really like Glenmorangie  ) But thats taste.
I was meaning have you ever had a whisky that tasted like dishwater and paid a premium for having "Single Malt" on the label....Or chill filtered for that matter. |
I didn't like the Ardmore Traditional at all, but quite a few people think it's decent stuff so maybe just a matter of taste.
The Dalmore's I have tasted haven't impressed me much, possibly because I was expecting more.
These days I hardly ever purchase a whisky that has been chill filtered and bottled at less than 46%. Notable exceptions would be the Lagavulin 16yo and Benromach 10yo, both of which are very good despite the 'non-craft' presentation. |

| It is no secret around here that i think the Dalmore deceives, nice packaging, premium prices just a pity about the whisky. I have never thought much of Royal Lochnagar either, not the greatest, i reckon diageo know this is not the greatest and they dont seem to push it much. |
