Distiller Notes
The Dalmore 12 Year Sherry Cask Select showcases the love affair between Scotland and Spain. Using casks from three historic cooperages in Jerez de la Frontera, The Dalmore has created a new single malt with twice the Sherry influence as the traditional 12 Year Old.
Each cask is seasoned with a special assemblage of aged Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez wines, unseen anywhere else in the industry.
Aromas of caramelized orange, ginger and sultanas, laced with honey. On the palate, dark chocolate and crushed almonds with a dusting of cinnamon. Finishing notes of sweet mangos, panna cotta and lemon sponge cake.
“A good gulp of hot Scotch Whisky at bedtime–it’s not very scientific, but it helps!”
Alexander Fleming, Scottish inventor of penicillin, prescribed it as a cure for the common cold. Today Single Malt Scotch Whiskies are prized by enthusiasts and aficionados the world over for their rarity, age and complexity. By definition these must be produced in Scotland from a single distillery and made entirely from malted barley, using a pot still. The appearance, aroma and flavor of a Single Malt Scotch Whisky can vary widely depending on whether it was produced in the Highlands, Lowlands Islands, Speyside, Islay or Campbelltown regions.
