Under the watchful eye of our Master Distiller, the liquid is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks for 29 years. This gives it its first base of soft vanilla and honey notes.
The final character of the whisky is derived from its maturation in casks which have previously contained 30-year-old Matusalem oloroso sherry, one of the world's most celebrated fortified wines. The Dalmore has exclusive rights to these precious casks that are hand-sourced from the world-renowned González Byass bodega.
After four years, the sherry has gifted the whisky with a beautiful balance and richness that can only be achieved using these exquisite casks.Colour – Rich radiant mahogany gold with sandy highlights.
Nose – Baked apples, caramelised pear, overripe apricots, Czar plums and clementines, accentuated by hints of creamy vanilla, dried figs, milk chocolate, orange peel, pineapple and coconut.
Taste – Moist lemon cake, juicy dates, persimmons and almonds, before flavours of fleshy Doyenne du Comice pear, peach and mangos.All products are available for shipping within the UK, and we currently ship a small selection of our products to some EU markets.

This whisky has unusual notes of peach, mango and tropical fruits. I selected this cask for the collection as it showcases a different side of The Dalmore.
