Dalmore 12Yo Sherry Cask Single Malt 700ml

Origin & Crafting

• Region: Highland, Alness, Scotland
• Maturation: First aged ~9–10 years in American white oak ex‑bourbon casks, then finished 18–24 months in custom Oloroso + Pedro Ximénez sherry‑seasoned casks
• Bottling: 43% ABV, natural colour, non‑chill‑filtered to preserve full flavour depth
• Icon: Features Dalmore’s famous 12‑point Royal Stag emblem, honouring the 1263 Clan Mackenzie legend

Tasting Profile

• Colour: Deep polished amber with glowing copper highlights
• Nose: Caramelised orange zest, crystallised ginger, plump sultanas, heather honey and subtle toasted oak
• Palate: Velvety dark chocolate, crushed almonds, warm cinnamon, dried fig and butterscotch sweetness
• Finish: Long, elegant and creamy – ripe mango, vanilla panna cotta and lemon sponge cake linger

Key Differences vs Standard 12yo

• Deeper sherry layers from triple‑cooperage custom cask finish
• Higher intensity of dried fruit, chocolate and nutty sweetness
• Smoother, creamier mouthfeel with more rounded spice

Best Enjoyed: Neat or with a drop of spring water; pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, blue cheese, nutty desserts or roast venison
