1992 Dalmore “Black Pearl” 12 Year Old Malmsey Cask Finish 1 Litre glenmorangieThis ones been named Black Pearl because Madeira is called the Pearl of the Atlantic. Colour: Amber. Nose: The nose starts on some big, bold vanilla and caramel, apricot jam. Hints of portiness. Rather punchy, very malty and caramelly at first nosing. Bold notes of burnt cake, a little winey, with something of a Cognac. Whiffs of smoke. Gets then very grassy and even farmy (hay) and meaty, and finally extremely coffeeish. Bold and rather complex,

Yellow tawny colour

very intense

King George IV and King Louis Philippe and praised by Charles Dickens

It makes it ideal for all day consumption along with finger food at a christening

Will come into it's own after four hours in the decanter

The resulting wine is bursting with fresh apple aromas and hints of tropical fruits

then liquorice and marzipan

blackcurrant cordial and stout

As an enduring legacy

Mouth: Some nice liquorice roots

with a slight smokiness at first nosing
