- Description
- From the 2003 vintage, this Dalmore Vintages release aged first in ex-bourbon barrels before a complex finishing regimen across Rivesaltes sweet wine, Matusalem and Amoroso sherry, and bourbon casks before marrying and bottling in 2022. The multi-cask finishing creates a rich tapestry of dark dried fruits, honeyed spice, and subtle wine-cask influence woven into Dalmore's core Highland character. Bottled at 46.9%, the spirit displays excellent balance between ex-bourbon backbone and sweeter cask finishes. For those seeking contemporary distillery releases that showcase thoughtful, layered cask craftsmanship.
