The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve is a luxurious Highland single malt Scotch whisky, showcasing the distillery’s expertise in cask finishing. This exceptional whisky is initially matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, developing a base of vanilla, honey, and spice, before being finished in aged Tawny Port pipes sourced from Portugal. The result is a rich, complex whisky with layers of fruit, caramel, and nutty depth.
With aromas of sweet red berries, Seville oranges, and sticky toffee pudding, the palate unfolds into nectarines, creamy caramel, roasted chestnuts, and Java coffee, leading to a long, velvety finish of rich plums, sultanas, blood oranges, and macerated cherries.
Bottled at 46.5% ABV, The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve is an indulgent single malt that perfectly balances sweetness and depth, making it an ideal choice for whisky connoisseurs.
