Суммаризация отзывов
Молодой виски из Dalmunach с заметным, но не подавляющим влиянием хереса, преимущественно в стиле PX/Oloroso. Отзывы сходятся на том, что он хорошо сбалансирован для своего возраста и предлагает хорошее соотношение цены и качества.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах этот Dalmunach описывается как молодой виски, но при этом не скрывающий своего возраста и не претендующий на большее. Влияние хереса присутствует, но не является подавляющим: оно скорее напоминает Oloroso или Palo Cortado, чем типичный PX, и проявляется нотами чернослива, фиников, инжира, орехов, шоколада, красных яблок, винограда и ежевики. На вкус отмечаются вишня в ликёре, десертный шоколад, специи, чёрный перец, карамель и солёная карамель; финиш описывается как средний или средне-длинный, с мягкими танинами, орехами и шоколадом. Часть отзывов указывает на излишнюю сладость, тогда как другие подчёркивают сбалансированность и отсутствие эффекта «хересной бомбы».
Мнения о качестве расходятся: одни называют виски интересным, элегантным и достойным представителем молодой винокурни, другие — одномерным и недостаточно зрелым, с доминирующей кислотностью и поверхностной пряностью. Несколько отзывов отмечают, что напиток раскрывается со временем в бокале и становится более сбалансированным при добавлении воды. В целом тексты сходятся на том, что это приятный, питкий и хорошо сбалансированный для своего возраста виски с хорошим соотношением цены и качества, хотя и без глубокого развития.
This Dalmunach is undoubtedly a young whisky, but definitely not younger than the age statement on the bottle label. Had a chance to get some extra knowledge during Murray McDavid tasting. According to the tasting host this Dalmunach had a really long finishing in the actual sherry casks for > 2 years. Here he meant not sherry-seasoned casks, but the casks used in PX-Spinola maturation. Maybe that's why I did not feel an overpowering sherry influence, as we are used to nowadays. Barely anything reminds of PX, more closer to Oloroso or Palo Cortado type of sherry. A decent representative of the young distillery. By the way, I had a chance to taste Pedro Ximenez Spinola vintage from 1983 or so. Absolutely gourgeous sherry with very long aftertaste. It is worth drinking on its own, or at least to have a try.
Quick hit review. Chivas Brothers demolished Imperial and built Dalmunach in its place - a smart decision? Well, time will tell. Distinct sherry notes are prominent on the nose, think of prunes, dusty wood and dates & figs. Biscuits, red apples and ginger appear. Fruity and slightly sharp, the palate evolves with ripe grapes, blackberries and cocoa. Mild acidity. Lingering PX sweetness and soft tannins remain in the medium finish. A pretty good performance for such a young malt. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 83 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE

All in all not bad but just way too sweet for my taste.

Unfortunately, my Imperial Distillery had to make way for this new distillery. I personally did not think that another single malt would appear on the market. This Dalmunach with only 7 years is very interesting and also promising for the future. Fortunately it is not a sherry bomb, but the px is subtly present.

0568-DALMUNACH 7 yo 2016 XIMENEZ-SPINOLA PX CASK FINISH MURRAY McDAVID BENCHMARK 48.5% ...the nose didn't look particularly promising at first. The distillate needed time to settle in the glass. Then it only got better. The same goes for the taste experience. More interesting with each sip. A very interesting addition to a delicate sip. I'd even go so far as to say it's a bit... elegant. The bottle looks interesting, and the drink—it might not inspire cries of ecstasy—but it's drinkable and offers a lot.

Nose The opening is dominated by acidity. Fresh, but not necessarily pleasant. There's also a noticeable sherry influence. The alcohol is initially quite pronounced, almost demanding. With a little patience in the glass, it calms down, recedes, and allows more space for the other aromas. The acidity, however, remains present; it's the common thread. Behind it, there's a hint of dark fruit, but more suggested than fully developed. Overall, the nose doesn't seem quite mature yet. The taste On the palate, its age is immediately apparent. A young distillate that doesn't hide its true nature. The maturation seems shorter than the number on the label would suggest. Sherry is present, adding some structure, but no real depth. The alcohol is well integrated, well-balanced for the chosen 48.5% ABV. Pepper provides spice, but remains rather superficial. With water, it becomes more approachable; a certain sweetness emerges, and the pepper recedes. This helps, bringing balance, but without any real development. Ultimately, it remains quite one-dimensional. Conclusion Well-intentioned, perfectly drinkable, but lacking in substance to truly convince.
