The Dalmore 18 Years Highland Single Malt [700ML]

Description

Are you searching for a Highland single malt that exemplifies decades of Scottish craftsmanship and maturation excellence?

As a certified spirits specialist, I can confidently say The Dalmore 18 Years Highland Single Malt represents exceptional value in the premium whisky category. This expression showcases The Dalmore’s signature sherry cask influence, delivering rich complexity that surpasses many competitors at this price point. While enthusiasts often compare it to The Dalmore 15 Years or The Dalmore 12 Years, those extra maturation years create profound depth that collectors immediately recognize.

• Distillery: The Dalmore (est. 1839) – one of Scotland’s most prestigious Highland distilleries
• Region: Highland – known for full-bodied, fruity character with elegant spice notes
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that maintains flavor integrity without overwhelming the palate
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 18 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, finished in Matusalem oloroso sherry casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose opens with caramelized orange, dark chocolate, and aromatic spices. Palate reveals candied citrus peel, nutmeg, coffee bean, and dried fruits. Finish lingers with warming oak tannins and sweet vanilla
• Best Served: Neat in a tulip-shaped glass at room temperature; add a few drops of water to unlock hidden complexities

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found the sherry cask influence particularly pronounced in this vintage, creating layers of dried fruit sweetness that distinguish it from lighter Highland expressions.
