Dalmore 12 Y.O. Single Malt Whisky 700ml

Τasting Characteristics

Νose with citrus fruit, chocolate and spices. Mouth of orange, dried fruit and vanilla. Aftertaste of roasted coffee and dark chocolate.

The Process

Matured for an initial nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the spirit is then divided. One half remains in the bourbon barrels, while the other is transferred to exclusive 30 year old Oloroso sherry butts, before being reunited to create the final product.

Served

Adding a bit of filtered water or spring water often helps whiskies to "open up" or "bloom" and The Dalmore is no exception. The water tones down the aggressive sweetness and helps cut some of the alcohol burn, though the latter is still present and accounted for.
