- Description
- This 1995 Dalmore receives a Bordeaux wine finish, creating a unique bridge between the distillery's traditional sherry influence and wine-cask maturation. The initial bourbon maturation establishes a foundation of vanilla and honey, while the Bordeaux finish layers in dried red fruits, graphite, and subtle tannins. The result is complex and wine-forward, with a silky mouthfeel. Ideal for those interested in experimental finishes or collectors supporting Castle Leod's restoration.
