The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Description

Product Description: Double sherry depth, Highland finesse. Under the watchful eye of the Dalmore whisky making team, the spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, complementing our house style of chocolate, orange, and spice. This whisky is then fully finished in casks that previously held a unique sherry, created especially for The Dalmore – a blend of aged Oloroso and rich sweet Pedro Ximenez, the recipe created to provide the perfect enhancement to our house style. The result is a stunning and elegant single malt, bursting with sweet fruit and decadent spice. Maker The Dalmore’s regal heritage dates back to 1263, symbolized by the iconic 12-point Royal Stag that adorns each bottle. This emblem was a gift to Colin of Kintail, the first chieftain of Clan Mackenzie, after he saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. In 1839, Alexander Matheson founded The Dalmore distillery, with a vision to create an exceptional single malt. In 1867, Clan Mackenzie descendants took ownership, marking the beginning of the distillery’s rise to prominence and adopting the Royal Stag as a guarantee of quality. The distillery’s unique collection of stills produces a robust and fruity new make spirit, perfect for long and complex maturation. For nearly five decades, Richard Paterson has pioneered cask curation at The Dalmore. Now, Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass, awarded Master Distiller of the Year 2023, continues this tradition of excellence, blending time-honoured methods with modern innovation.
