The Dalmore 18 Year Old is a distinguished Highland single malt whisky, matured initially for 14 years in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks. It then undergoes a final maturation of four years in 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks, exclusively sourced from the renowned Gonzalez Byass bodega. This maturation process imparts a rich, deep chocolate character and a complex, layered flavor profile, embodying the luxurious house style of The Dalmore.

cedar.fox5 OctThe oak appears alongside citrus, molasses, stewed fruit, toffee and spice on the finish, while dark chocolate and candied citrus lead the palate. It has a place in a broader sweet-and-citrus character, rather than making the oak the whole story.
shortwave lantern6 SeptThe dark chocolate and citrus give this Highland single malt a clear contrast, with coffee and gentle spice adding depth on the palate. I’m especially drawn to the described finish: citrus alongside molasses, stewed fruits, toffee, oak and spice sounds layered and lingering, rather than resting on sweetness alone. It’s a composed character, with plenty of detail across the nose and palate too.
