Dalmore 12 Ans - Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The nose is very expressive, vegetal and malty, gradually revealing superb aromas of flowers and ripe fruit (peach, apricot) and developing into brioche, cocoa powder and orange marmalade. Balanced sweetness/bitterness on the palate, it is luscious and supple, confirming the orange aromas already present on the nose. It continues with walnuts and a delicate salty note. Long, herbaceous finish (menthol, chlorophyll), with a persistent hint of salt.

When Sir Alexander Matheson founded the Dalmore distillery in 1839, he set himself an audacious challenge: to create the first 12-year-old whisky, thereby inventing a method that would become the standard for single malt whiskies, where his neighbors and competitors stopped at 6 years of maturation at most. After 9 years in ex-bourbon casks, half of the precious liquid continues its maturation in casks containing 30-year-old oloroso sherry, while the other half remains in bourbon casks. Today, The Dalmore 12-Year-Old is as impressive as ever in its elegance and complexity.
