Dalmore 15 Years Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Dalmore distillery was built in 1893 by Alexander Matheson, who immediately leased it to the Sunderland family, who ran it for over thirty years until 1869, when the leave was taken over by three Mackenzie brothers, Alexander, Charles and Andrew.

The Dalmore 15 year old was first launched in 2007. Matured in matusalem, apostoles and amoroso sherry casks, it proffers all those winter spice, orange zest and chocolate notes characteristic of Dalmore.

The nose is generous and sweet, with toffee, vanilla and medium Sherry, plus the distinctive Dalmore orange aroma. Nicely balanced Sherry and Christmas spices on the palate, plus lush malt and a drier, gingery nuttiness. That nuttiness carries through into the long and progressively drying finish, where there is also a final note of vanilla.
