Maturation journey:
Under the watchful eye of our Master Distiller, the liquid is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks for 29 years. This gives its first base of soft vanilla and honey notes.
The final character of the whisky is derived from its maturation in casks which have previously contained 30 year old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry, one of the world’s most celebrated fortified wines. The Dalmore has exclusive rights to these precious casks that are hand sourced from the world renowned Gonzalez Byass bodega.
After four years, the sherry has gifted the whisky with a beautiful balance and richness that can only be achieved using these exquisite casks.
Tasting notes:
Colour – Rich, radiant mahogany gold with sandy highlights.
Nose – Baked apples, caramelised pear, oven ripe apricots, Czar plums and clementines, accentuated by hints of creamy vanilla, dried figs, milk chocolate, orange peel, pineapple and coconut.
