The Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

million litres per annum and operates at near capacity, but still retains its quality and character. Launched in late 2008 to replace the previous 12 year old, this single malt from the Dalmore distillery is a toasty, coffee-rich dram with beautifully spice notes and a thick mouthfeel. The notes of orange, vanilla, red fruit and salted caramel are quite pleasant, but tasting this, I’m missing the more punchy profile of the Dalmore 18. Jerez is in southwestern Spain about 70 miles to the northwest of Gibraltar and is known as the world capital of sherry.

Splendidly sherried Highland single malt, brimming with candied citrus, dark chocolate, coffee, and spice. This means to be labeled Xeres (sherry is an anglicization) it must be produced within the Sherry Triangle, a small area that includes the three cities at the vertices of the triangles and their surrounding municipalities.The Dalmore obsesses over the sherry barrels they select, and knowing more about sherry can help you understand why.

This may be the pinnacle of the age-stated Dalmore releases, as far as I’m concerned—a glorious synergy between the initial 14 years of bourbon barrel aging, and then 4 additional years in Matusalem oloroso sherry casks. This auspiciously-named single malt Scotch whisky was matured in wine, Madeira, Sherry, Marsala, Kentucky bourbon and Port casks. It is aged for 14 years in American oak, followed by three years in Matusalem sherry butts, before a final year in sherry butts.This one is quite dark fruity on the nose, with lots of plumminess, chased by orange, vanilla and cinnamon.

Perhaps unexpectedly, the second cheapest Dalmore expression, Port Wood Reserve, is also the strongest in the entire core lineup, at a still fairly modest 46. It was then treated to a lengthy finishing period in Gonzalez Byass Matusalem sherry casks – seven years of finishing, to be specific! This hasn’t been a very oak-forward range of whiskies, at least to my perception, but at this point all that time in the wood is finally starting to make itself more dominant.

Dalmore Tasting: 7 Core Single Malt Whiskies from The Dalmore

In previous reviews, I have offered my thoughts on the 12 and 15-year-old expressions as well as the now-discontinued Gran Reserva and Cigar Malt releases. This annual limited edition begins its maturation journey in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, giving a base of soft vanilla and honey. Almond butter and butterscotch are highlights on the palate, with moderate residual sweetness and digestive biscuit-like maltiness, with a hint of cinnamon.The Service, including any information contained therein, does not constitute any advice (such as but not limited to investment advice, tax advice, financial, economic advice) and is not intended as recommendations (whether personal, in general, or otherwise) to invest in companies, products, services.
