This cost is what I found the likely shelf price for a 750ml bottle to be, based on an average of costs throughout the USA. Your price may differ significantly. This is not an advertisement of sale, this bottle is likely empty by now anyway Cost$9000Bottle Image. Image is © Practical Whisky.

Tasting # 341: Christmas Dinner #2: Dalmore 21  (02-FEB-2009)
NotesOddly enough, I have a bottle of Cigar Malt at home waiting for a proper tasting and now that dinner is moving past the wine and towards the coffee I find myself once again perusing the Scotch list. I've decided on this only because I can't quite muster the gall to order the Macallan 25 on my wife's boss' dime.

Impression		Again, no bottle to look at.
SmellI'm really just stunned. Port, brown sugar, red wine, very fruity and sweet. Immense! Smokey! Tons of smoke and citrus.
TasteOh my. This might just be a challenger to the crown! Huge smoke and wine opening, coffee sneaks in and then it builds into a mountain of wood and sugar. Big orange flavors, brandy. I don't know how to explain how perfectly balanced and huge this is. The fade is eternal with all that wood slowly unfolding to cane sugar and ... wow. It ends beautifully and cleanly with some last bits of malt. Fantastic. Above 90 and I'm only holding back from the Link to another reviewKing of the list because I tasted it recently and it was just... just a tiny bit better. The good news is that I think you can still buy this one.
