- Description
- Dalmore's 2008 vintage combines casks from a single year, initially matured in ex-bourbon before being re-racked into Pedro Ximenez and Matusalem sherry casks for added complexity. The nose reveals milk chocolate, candied satsuma, and cracked black pepper, while the palate develops buttered pastries, orchard fruit, and vanilla with the sherry casks providing depth and sweetness. The texture is smooth and rounded, with a finish that balances fruit and oak influence. A sophisticated dram for those seeking vintage consistency and well-integrated cask influence.
