There have been several iterations of Dalmore 12 year old over the last 50 years or so. This dark coloured label precedes the cream label and was marketed during the late 1970s and through the '80s. The below review suggests it's some very fine liquid indeed, so probably nothing like the present day equivalent.

Other reviews... Colour: amber. Nose: ah yes, this is even better. Some superb waxy notes, furniture polish, notes of Sauternes wine, beeswax, flowers (peony, lilac). Quite complex! Something superbly resinous, fireplace, ashes, mustard sauce, sherry… Strong honey (chestnut). It gets smokier and smokier (coal fire). Very, very nice. Mouth: simply fantastic. A superb creaminess, very coating, with an extraordinary balance. Orange liqueur and resin, lavender honey and eucalyptus, natural tar liqueur and mastic… Some marzipan, orgeat syrup, crystallised fruits (kumquats, oranges, tangerines). Gets quite smoky, with some notes of burnt cake. And what a beautiful and compact finish, on orange and lemon marmalades. Just a superb malt, extremely drinkable. No less than 92 points. - whiskyfun.com
