The Dalmore 12 Year Old Whisky comes from the renowned Dalmore Distillery and is a product of excellence from the Scottish Highlands. This whisky initially ages for nine years in ex-bourbon American white oak barrels. After this period, it is carefully divided; half continues maturing in bourbon barrels, while the other half moves to 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso barrels, enriching its flavor with complex notes of chocolate and orange. The distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson and has maintained a reputation for excellence over the years, setting standards that many other whisky makers follow. With over 175 years of history, The Dalmore takes pride in its heritage, where each barrel is meticulously cared for by dedicated craftsmen. The success of this distillery is also attributed to its Master Distiller, Richard Paterson, who has influenced the distinctive character of The Dalmore for nearly five decades. If you wish to explore the characteristics of this whisky, you will notice citrus and spicy notes in its aroma, along with a palate that presents a perfect balance between dried fruits and a robust finish of roasted coffee and chocolate.
