A welcome return from a much revered single malt whisky – and a fine dram whether you drink it with its intended purpose in mind or not.
The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve is actually a reworking of the original Dalmore Cigar Malt which was discontinued in 2009.
The new version is significantly different, incorporating older stocks and a more adventurous ageing process with multiple casks adding to this whisky’s distinct character.
Wood Portrait:
Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and 30 year old Matusalem oloroso sherry butts, it is then finessed in premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques.
Nose: Caramel, shortbread, biscuits, coffee and chocolates with an aroma of cinnamon, vanilla and red fruits.
Palate: Yet more toffee, caramel edging towards the burnt cinder-toffee side of things. Flamed orange-zest, vanilla ice cream and perfectly integrated sherry.
Finish: Reasonably simple, Christingles (orange Zest and clove with a touch of cinnamon), more mid-palate than palate-coating before finally, crushed spices.
Jim Murray has scored this Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve 73.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible, ‘One assumes this off key sugarfest is for the cigar that explodes in your face….’
