The Dalmore 18 Year Single Malt 700mL is an 18-year-old Highland single malt from The Dalmore distillery in Alness, matured first in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and finished in hand-selected Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks, presented at 700mL.
About This Whisky
The Dalmore distillery has operated since 1839 on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth in the Scottish Highlands and is owned by Whyte & Mackay. Master blender Richard Paterson has shaped the house style around dividing maturation between American white oak ex-bourbon casks and hand-selected Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks sourced through the distillery's long-running partnership with González Byass in Jerez.
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: Citrus oil and sherry spice carry through on polished oak.
Serving & Food
Pour neat in a small tulip glass at room temperature. A square of plain dark chocolate or a slice of orange cake suits the Oloroso character.
How to Enjoy
Treat as an after-dinner pour; sip slowly to appreciate the Matusalem sherry depth.
