An evolution of The Dalmore house style, this 18 year old expression takes on bolder notes, becoming a more robust and formidable whisky. The perfect after dinner dram.
The latest 2022 expression is just as smooth and spicy as previous!
This great expression from Dalmore has a robust and formidable flavour, thanks to the effects of extended maturation in well chosen wood.
Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe this beauty!
Wood Portrait:
This annual limited edition begins its maturation journey in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, giving a base of soft vanilla and honey.
Further enhancement follows, with a longer finishing in 30 year old hand selected Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks, exclusive to The Dalmore, from the Gonzalez Byass bodega in Spain.
The placing of these casks close to the cold, damp floor and walls of the dunnage warehouses at The Dalmore Distillery, allowing this whisky to reach its full potential: an exceptionally unique single malt with a rich, deep chocolate character.
Nose: Fruity and spicy with notes of vanilla, orange zest and potpourri, marmalade and sweet milk chocolate with a chocolate aroma.
Palate: A delicious fireside dram with notes of dark chocolate, rich coffee, raisins, juicy citrus, stewed fruits, old sherry, pepper and nutmeg.
Finish: A long, fruity finish ending on almond, cocoa, citrus fruits, oak and spice.
