Comments:

The kind folks behind the bar at the SMWS tasting room let me smell 2 Dalmores before I bought. This one smelt a little more chemical and artificial. Those notes turned out to be cooked, sweet egg yolks, like the kind you get in Chinese egg rolls. Sponge cake too, with lots and lots of milk - condensed, evaporated, you name it. Tasty.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
