The Dalmore Scotch Single Malt 15 Year

 IWSC 98 Points  (Excellent, Highly Recommended) The Dalmore 15 year old is smooth, rich and well rounded; the epitome of The Dalmore house style. This delicate and approachable vintage is initially matured for 12 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. The character of The Dalmore 15 is achieved by then splitting the whisky equally between three different sherry woods; Amoroso, Apostoles and Matusalem oloroso for a further three years. The spirit is finally married together in an upstanding sherry butt, allowing the flavours to infuse. Aromas of orange marmalade, cinnamon and nutmeg. Palate of mandarin, vanilla, ginger and crushed apples. Finish notes of caramelised orange and rich dark chocolate. 

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 96 points - Pleasant aromas of salted caramel, cinnamon apple, and fresh baguette make up the pleasing nose of this Scotch whisky. Rich notes of brown sugar, shortbread, cloves, and roasted peach wash over the palate, where the barrel exposure displays itself in a suggestion of smoke. -2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended).April/2019
