I must be the first to admit that the design of the bottle was the first immediate thing that struck me.
The Dalmore’s heritage dates back to 1263. It was in this year that Colin of Kintail, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, saved King Alexander III from the fury of a charging stag. In recognition of this noble act the King granted the Mackenzie Clan the right to use the 12 pointed Royal stag emblem on their coat of arms.
When descendants of the Clan became owners of The Dalmore distillery in 1867, the Royal Stag became the recognisable icon that proudly adorns each bottle of The Dalmore today; an emblem which encapsulates a rich past whilst also embodying a promise that The Dalmore will remain at the pinnacle of single malt.
The Dalmore 12 Years, it is an outstanding single malt matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks and finessed in rare and aged oloroso sherry casks.
- The Aroma, citrus fruits, chocolate and aromatic spices
- On the Palate, seville oranges, dried fruits and hints of vanilla pod,
- Finishing, roasted coffee and dark chocolate
In general, when we talk about this whisky, we would like to compare 12 years, 15 years and 18 years. The older the whisky, the more mellow the color, the richer the taste.
