Tasting notes:-
Colour - Deep and intense Rosewood - warm and inviting.
Nose - Provocative and pleasing and multi-layered. Initially a melody of sensual aromas of sultanas, ground coffee, chocolate praline and spicy orange. Crushed Bramley apple, honeyed marzipan, sweet molasses and Morello cherries come together in the next harmonious layer the to finish hints of caraway and Madeira cake.
Taste - Powerful anf fulfilling. The palate is rewarded with warming flavours of ginger cake, spiced toffee, butterscotch and macerated grape pulp. Subtle hints of coffee amaretto, roasted chestnuts and guava melon come into play too. however thich cut marmalade and citrus fruits are still the hallmark of this outstanding single malt as they linger seductively in the background. By keeping it in the mouth you will immediately realise that some things are well worth waiting for. Bottled at 45%abv.

Founded in 1839, Dalmore Distillery lies between the Dornoch and Cromerty Firths, looking over the latter. Currently owned by White and Mackay, being used extensively in their blends. In 1966 the unusual stills were increased from 4 to 8, unusual in that they have copper clad cooling jackets, the oldest dating from 1874, these allow to fill the jacket cooling the distillate vapours and creating early condensation.
