About Dalmore 12Yr Sherry Cask
The Dalmore 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky, aged 12 years primarily in American ex-bourbon barrels and finished in a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from Jerez, Spain, bottled at 43% ABV. What makes it special is the sherry influence, delivering rich layers of dried fruits, dark chocolate, spices, and citrus that elevate the distillery's signature profile beyond the standard 12-year expression, offering greater depth and body despite the modest strength. Ideal for sherry lovers, autumn sippers, and those seeking a balanced, comforting dram with complexity for newcomers and collectors alike. In its category, it outperforms the classic Dalmore 12 with bolder sherry sweetness and spice, competing well against mid-range sherry bombs at $67.50 for 750ml, providing excellent value from producer E & J Gallo Winery.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Rich sherry aromas dominate with raisins, dried plums, sultanas, and dark chocolate, complemented by caramel, toffee, caramelized orange peel, and cinnamon. Subtle earthiness, charred wood, cherries, coffee beans, and fresh citrus notes like lemon zest and oranges add layers of complexity.
👅 Palate
Velvety and full-bodied with honey, oranges, black cherries, fig, date, and dark chocolate, infused with baking spices like cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, and ginger. Caramel, charred wood, stone fruits, and a touch of brine or smoke provide warmth and depth, though some find it slightly underpowered.
✨ Finish
Mid-long and smooth with lingering spice, caramel, toffee, nutmeg, toasted oak, and subtle smoke or dryness leaning toward cacao, coffee, and balsamic notes.
