Product Description

Dalmore 12 Year Scotch Whisky: Seville Orange, Dried Fruit, Vanilla, Coffee, and Dark Chocolate

Dalmore 12 Year Scotch Whisky is a Highland single malt matured first in American white-oak ex-bourbon casks. A proportion of the whisky is then transferred to rare aged Oloroso sherry casks before the components are brought back together, combining citrus and vanilla with dried fruit, coffee, chocolate, and aromatic spice.

The official profile identifies citrus fruit, chocolate, and spice on the aroma. Seville orange, dried fruit, and vanilla pod develop on the palate before roasted coffee and dark chocolate define the finish. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is a rich but accessible introduction to The Dalmore’s sherry-influenced house style.

The whisky’s orange-and-chocolate character makes it particularly suited to after-dinner service, although its measured oak and spice also pair well with savory foods.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Citrus fruit, orange peel, chocolate, vanilla, and aromatic spice.

Food Pairings
