The Dalmore Cigar Malt Highland Single [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that bridges the gap between whisky and cigar appreciation?

The Dalmore Cigar Malt represents a masterful expression from one of Scotland’s most respected distilleries, specifically crafted to complement fine cigars. This Highland single malt showcases the distillery’s expertise in triple cask maturation, moving through American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry butts, and finishing in premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. While exploring premium aged expressions, consider The Dalmore 25 Years or The Dalmore 21 Years for even more complex maturation profiles.
