Toast 2011 with Dalmore Eos Single Malt Whiskey? Sure, Why Not?

When it comes to settling down after a long day at the office, nothing beats coming home, pouring a nice glass of Johnny Walker Black Label and kicking my feet up to relax.



Certainly some have the same idea as me, but if you’re a frequent reader of this website, then I’m sure you want to do it a bit more lavishly. If you can afford some of the top whiskeys in the world, then you won’t mind spending five figures on the newest from The Dalmore Distillery .



The new whiskey -- entitled Eos -- is a single malted whiskey aged 59 years. Eos serves as the sister whiskey to Selene, Dalmore’s 1951 vintage whiskey.



On June 7, 1951, Dalmore filled casks #1751 and #1752 and left them to mature. They’re being released now in 20 mouth blown decanters made with Portugese crystal. That decanter is then hand cut and lined with silver highlights. The finishing touch involves encasing the crystal in a solid steel box inlaid with dark timber.



Pour the whiskey out of the bottle, and your senses perk up like a cat’s ears when they hear something interesting. Honeyed pear and pineapple are the initial smells, but there is a hint of dark chocolate and roasted coffee as well.



Your taste buds will appreciate the treat of a good whiskey from The Dalmore as flavors include toffee, caramel, orange, golden syrup and cinnamon. Of course, the aftertaste is as smooth as drinking the finest pure water. You won’t feel the need to use the "bitter taste face" when you enjoy Eos, so drink up (within reason of course).



Information about Eos can be attained by emailing eos@thedalmore.com or by giving David Robertson a call at +44 (0) 7736168237. Be prepared to spend about five figures for one of the smoothest whiskeys to be released in a long while.



Money well spent if you ask me.
