Dalmore 12 Year Old

Pale gold in colour. The bouquet is musky with notes of soil, grass, oranges and a butterscotch sweetness. A hint of salt and subtle notes of wood and spice. Delicious complexity. The palate shows a gentle smokiness with flavours of citrus and vanilla. Scrumptious sherry influence and a fairly well balanced dram with both an initial sweetness and a spicy/peppery quality. Wonderful sherry influence.

The Dalmore Distillery has been producing exceptional single malt whisky since 1839 and, for almost a century, was owned by the Clan Mackenzie. The clan’s defining influence on the distillery is still evident to this day, with the iconic royal stag’s antlers – taken from the Mackenzie family crest – adorning each and every bottle of The Dalmore. Located on the northern shores of the Firth of Cromarty, deep in the spectacular Scottish Highlands, the distillery is perfectly placed to take advantage of a feast of natural resources: from the waters of Loch Morie, found high in the hills overlooking the distillery, to the golden barley of the rich coastal soils of the Black Isle. Being sited at sea level is critically important. Enveloped by the salt air, the sea-facing traditional dunnage warehouses provide the ideal conditions for maturation. Dalmore is, above all, the classic Highland malt.
