jwise: I take it that you like the new Dalmore 15 YO?
Maybe I will have to give that a re-try.

I was mostly referring to the new Gran Reserva, which is the replacement to the now discontinued Cigar Malt from Dalmore.

I really did not care for the Dalwhinnie 15 either. I preferred the Balvenie 12 YO DB to it actually, which surprised me.
Maybe I should have tried the Dalwhinnie 18 YO.

That's not surprising. If you like a "wood-finished" whisky, the Dalwhinnie 15yr is NOT going to satisfy. Its a bit like Cragganmore 12yr, or Glenrothes '91. Very smooth, very light, very subtle.
