Dalmore 14 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch

Product Description

Dalmore 14 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky: The First Dalmore Finished in Pedro Ximénez Sherry

Pedro Ximénez is the sweetest sherry in Spain: sun-dried grapes, pressed into a syrup of figs, dates, and chocolate. Dalmore 14 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the first Dalmore in the Principal Collection to be finished in it. It’s matured first in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, giving it a base of vanilla and honey, then finished in rare, hand-selected Pedro Ximénez sherry casks from the González Byass bodega. The brand’s Master Whisky Maker, Gregg Glass, led the project, and it’s a US-exclusive release bottled at 43.8% ABV (87.6 proof).

The brand describes warm honey dates, Seville orange zest, rich raisins, and all spice on the nose, a palate of figs, dates, toasted hazelnuts, roasted coffee, and maple syrup, and a finish of rich dark fruits, liquorice, marmalade, and depths of cocoa. It’s the Dalmore chocolate-orange style with a PX sweetness laid over the top, richer and sweeter than the 12 and one of the best values in the range. It’s made at The Dalmore Distillery on the Cromarty Firth, where whisky has been distilled since 1839, and the stag is on the bottle. Sip it neat, with dessert or a cigar, or hand it to a friend who says they like sweet whisky. It’s for people who’ve tried the 12 and want to go one step deeper.
