The Dalmore 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Appearance: Possesses a dark richness like maple syrup, but runny as if it had been diluted with water. This annual limited edition begins its maturation journey in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, giving a base of soft vanilla and honey. Further enhancement follows, with a longer finishing in hand-selected 30 year old Matusalem Oloroso Sherry casks from the González Byass bodega in Spain, exclusive to The Dalmore. For my money, The Dalmore 18 falls into the category of, “it is tasty, but how tasty is it?” The prices associated with The Dalmore as a brand in recent years have been difficult for me to rationalize in terms of depth of experience in certain single malts.

Whisky Review: The Dalmore 18 Year - The Whiskey Wash Whisky Review: The Dalmore 18 Year - The Whiskey Wash

Palate: Sweet, dry, and rich. Fruity and only very slightly salty. Fresh plum, chocolate syrup, chocolate covered raisins, coffee, tobacco. Very full sherry presence throughout. Continued tobacco segues into the finish. Dry, with a soft bitterness. Wisps of coffee and cream. Final Thoughts: Sherry cask aging is probably one of the most mentioned attributes in the whiskey vernacular, yet in terms of understanding, sherry tends to be overlooked. It is common knowledge that sherry is a fortified wine produced from Spain. It is becoming more common for people to recognize the names of the main styles of sherry, such as fino, oloroso, and Pedro Ximénez (PX). But what are the requirements for making it? We whiskey nerds love aging processes, so how is it aged? The Dalmore obsesses over the sherry barrels they select, and knowing more about sherry can help you understand why.Alness, Scotland, and Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, have a famous name in the whisky world linking the two cities: The Dalmore.

He hand-selects the casks from the world's finest wineries, bodegas and distilleries and ages the whiskies in them to create something truly remarkable. This 18-year-old Single Malt has been matured in a number of casks previously used to age bourbon whisky and Oloroso sherries. It has aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, orange and cinnamon and flavours of dark chocolate, candied citrus fruits, coffee and nutmeg. On the palate, it is harsh and peppery. Any wood or smoke disappears almost immediately, and if there is toffee; it is well burn.

Under Spanish law a maximum of 30% of each barrel can be moved at one time, meaning some wine will age in the same scale for many, many cycles before finally moving on to the next scale. Over 90% of sherry is made from the grape variety palomino, but sherry can also be made from moscatel or Pedro Ximénez grapes. All sherry is fortified with neutral grape spirit after fermentation and will always be at least three years old.
