The Dalmore 18 Year is the 18-year-old single malt from the Highland distillery Dalmore, in Alness on the Cromarty Firth. It sits between the 15 and 25 in the core range and shows the house’s long-running signature of finishing in aged oloroso sherry casks from González Byass.
From the Producer
Dalmore distillery has operated since 1839 on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth and is owned by Whyte & Mackay. Master blender Richard Paterson is known for layering the house style by dividing the maturation between American white oak ex-bourbon casks and hand-selected Matusalem oloroso sherry casks (thedalmore.com).
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark chocolate, orange marmalade, cinnamon and old oloroso oak.
- Palate: Rich and rounded, with Seville orange, cocoa, spiced baked fruit and soft vanilla.
- Finish: Long and warming, with citrus oil, sherry spice and polished oak.
Best For
Highland single malt drinkers who want the sherried middle of the Dalmore range, milestone gifting, and after-dinner service neat or with a drop of water.
