Comments:
Dalmore markets this as an accompaniment for cigars - I guess taken in the drawing room after donning one's smoking jacket. I guess that might work, as the whisky has lots of bold bright flavours (screams "Highlander" to me) which wouldn't be overwhelmed by tobacco. Personally I think it's a great dram on its own, no need for cigars. Maybe if I got a bottle of this and some good cigars (and a free pass from the Pretty Lady) I could test this hypothesis.
Verdict:
I like this.
