The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve Highland Single [700ML]

Description

What happens when Highland tradition meets Portuguese port wine mastery in a single bottle?

The Dalmore Port Wood Reserve represents a masterful marriage of Scottish Highland whisky craftsmanship and Portuguese port cask finishing. This innovative expression showcases dual maturation – beginning in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before a portion receives an additional 12-18 months in aged Tawny Port pipes from Graham’s Port Lodge. For whisky enthusiasts seeking similar Highland excellence, consider exploring The Dalmore 25 Years or The Dalmore 21 Years for extended aging profiles.
