The Dalmore 12 Year Old Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterclass in crafted restraint and understated richness. Matured for 12 years on the Cromarty Firth, this Highland Scotch is thoughtfully aged first in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in Oloroso sherry casks, delivering a perfectly balanced profile that exemplifies Dalmore’s signature style.
At 40% ABV, this whisky offers a polished and composed experience rather than bold intensity. Its nose reveals indulgent aromas of Seville orange marmalade, dark chocolate truffle, and the buttery richness of sticky toffee pudding. With time, subtle notes of roasted coffee, hazelnut praline, and a whisper of antique oak emerge, showcasing the whisky’s thoughtful maturation.
The palate is smooth and lightly oily, with a supple interplay of spiced fruit loaf, gingerbread, and soft vanilla cream. The Oloroso sherry finish unfolds elegantly with hints of fig, cinnamon, and clove-studded citrus, creating a rounded and refined taste experience. The medium-length finish lingers with notes of cocoa, nutmeg, and a delicate breath of dried cranberry and oak dust.
Recognized for its excellence, The Dalmore 12 Year Old has earned prestigious accolades including Gold at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Silver at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards. These honors reflect its meticulous craftsmanship and the rich, layered flavors that define this Highland malt.
Combining tradition with elegance, this whisky embodies the essence of Highland distilling. Its refined character, marked by bright citrus, warming spice, and sherried depth, makes it a versatile dram—equally suited to quiet reflection or sophisticated gatherings.
