The Dalmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

The Dalmore distillery is the bête noire of many a budding whisky enthusiast. Dalmore commits many of the cardinal sins according to the whisky cognoscenti: they make liberal use of spirit caramel (E150a). they chill-filter their whisky. and most egregious. they bottle most of their core expressions at the minimum 40% abv. 

Dalmore 12 is aged for the first nine years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. before half is transferred to ex-oloroso sherry casks for the final three years. The result is a whisky with a combination of sweetness and rich. sherried flavours.

AROMA: Orange. dark plums. chocolate. marzipan
