About Dalmore 12Yr
The Dalmore 12 Year Old is a Highland Single Malt Scotch that represents an exceptional value in its category. Matured initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks for nine years, half the spirit is then transferred to aged oloroso sherry butts before blending, creating a whisky with remarkable complexity for its age statement. Known for its viscous mouthfeel and rich flavor profile despite its modest 40% ABV, it appeals to both newcomers seeking an approachable premium scotch and experienced drinkers who appreciate its sherried character. The 12 Year Old stands apart as Dalmore's entry point into age-stated expressions, offering port-level sweetness and chocolate-forward notes that make it an excellent gateway into Highland single malts without the premium pricing of older releases.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose presents an inviting bouquet of citrus fruits, dark chocolate, and aromatic spices with hints of orange zest and raisin sweetness. Vanilla and caramel notes emerge alongside subtle nutty undertones, creating a thick, sweet aroma that belies its 40% strength.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers concentrated citrus and oloroso sherry with dried fruits, chocolate-covered cherries, and hints of vanilla pod. The mouthfeel is remarkably viscous and jam-like for the proof, with flavors of marmalade, plums, and blackberries swirling together, accompanied by mild mulling spices and a touch of cinnamon.
✨ Finish
The finish is medium to long, fading with roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and cinnamon spice. A honeyed quality lingers with gentle oak and latte notes before drying to chocolate-covered cherries.
