The Dalmore 18YO 2023 Edition

Dalmore distillery was built in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, who immediately leased it to the Sunderland family, who ran it for over thirty years until 1869, when the lease was taken over by three Mackenzie brothers, Alexander, Charles and Andrew. For over 150 years, The Dalmore has set the standard in multi cask maturation. Hand selected casks, from the world's finest bodegas and wineries are expertly curated to create a sumptuous and layered whisky of legendary finesse. The Dalmore house style derives from a close and trusted relationship that was forged with sherry house González Byass over 100 years ago. The rare casks are exclusive to The Dalmore. These casks enrich the signature chocolate and orange character of whisky with rich and nutty flavors.

Aged for 14 years in American oak casks that were previously used to mature bourbon. Following its initial beautyrest, the whisky is double-barreled, or finished, for an additional 4 years in 30 year-old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks.

This dual maturation process gives the whisky an intense aroma of red fruits, particularly raspberries, plums and cherries. Notes of milk chocolate, coffee and citrus dominate the palate, and give way to a spicy finish that is accented by notes of caramel, pear and nutmeg.
