The Dalmore Cigar Malt Highland Single [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Highland single malt that bridges the gap between exceptional whisky and premium cigar culture?

The Dalmore Cigar Malt represents one of Scotland’s most sophisticated expressions, specifically crafted to complement fine cigars while standing magnificently on its own. This Highland single malt showcases the distillery’s mastery through its unique triple cask maturation process, moving from American white oak ex-bourbon barrels to 30-year-old Matusalem Oloroso sherry butts, before finishing in premier cru Cabernet Sauvignon wine barriques. Compare this complexity to other premium expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years or The Dalmore 21 Years for an appreciation of the distillery’s range.
