The Dalmore 12 Years Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What makes a Highland single malt truly exceptional after twelve years of patient maturation?

The Dalmore 12 Years Highland Single Malt represents the quintessential expression of Scottish Highland whisky craftsmanship. This distinguished single malt showcases dual cask maturation – nine years in American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels followed by finishing in rare aged Oloroso Sherry casks. The Dalmore distillery’s signature house style delivers consistent excellence that sets it apart from expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years and Glenmorangie 12 Years Original.
