Elevate your moments of contemplation and celebration with The Dalmore 12 Sherry Cask Select—a single malt that embodies the pinnacle of sherry cask maturation and the Highland legacy.

Nose: good aromas, fairly expressive even with the still modest ABV. A nice combination of all things sherry: soaked raisins, milk chocolate and toffee, as well as brighter hints of raspberry jam, orange juice and subtle balsamic whiffs. Also mint and light nutty notes. Quite faultless really.

Mouth: same comment: underpowered, which is a shame because the flavours are spot-on. Caramel sweetness, light tobacco, cinnamon pastry and chocolate cake. A little vanilla roundness. Herbal touches and baking spice. A hint of roasted coffee beans.

Finish: not too long, quite honeyed, with latte, more chocolate and gentle oak spice.

The Dalmore 12 Year Sherry Cask Select showcases the love affair between Scotland and Spain. Using casks from three historic cooperages in Jerez de la Frontera, The Dalmore has created a new single malt with twice the Sherry influence as the traditional 12 Year Old.

Each cask is seasoned with a special assemblage of aged Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez wines, unseen anywhere else in the industry.

Aromas of caramelized orange, ginger and sultanas, laced with honey. On the palate, dark chocolate and crushed almonds with a dusting of cinnamon. Finishing notes of sweet mangos, panna cotta and lemon sponge cake.
