- Description
- This 2001 vintage from Dalmore aged initially in ex-bourbon before a two-year finishing period in Graham's Tawny Port pipes, creating a bridge between Speyside fruitiness and port sweetness. The additional time in Port casks has deepened the malt's natural fruit character while introducing dried apricot, fig, and subtle tannin structure. Full-bodied and warming, with a finish that lingers with port-influenced sweetness. A refined dram for those exploring how port finishing transforms Highland single malt.
