- Description
- Dalmore's 1996 vintage underwent an unusual 3-year finishing period in Port pipes previously matured with Graham's 30-year Colheita, creating deep oxidative character and wine-soaked warmth alongside the Highland distillery's signature richness. Expect layered sweetness, dried fruit, and subtle spice woven through a full, enveloping texture. A luxurious sipper for special occasions, best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water.
