✦ Neatly Summary

Dalmore 18 Year Old - Vintage 1998 is a 18-year-old single malt from Dalmore (Highland, Scotland), bottled at 44% ABV. Expect sweet, fruity and oaky character — sherried, cooked fruit, honey, toasted. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Dalmore's 18-year-old from 1998 showcases the distillery's signature richness through an unusual maturation path: 16 years in ex-bourbon casks followed by two years in rare aged Tawny Port pipes that had previously matured Port for two decades. The result is a layered whisky with orchard fruits, toffee, and subtle maritime spice balanced by wine-barrel sweetness and a silky mouthfeel. The extended Port wood influence adds depth without overwhelming the Highland malt character. Ideal for those seeking sophisticated complexity in a mature Highland expression.
