The Dalmore 12 is recognized as a Whiskey with character far beyond its age. The spirit is initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, yielding soft vanilla and honey notes. A proportion of the spirit is then finessed in pinnacle Sherry casks, including 3-Year Old Matusalem Oloroso casks, exclusive to The Dalmore, to give the Whiskey a rich, nutty character. The two styles are then reunited to create an outstanding single malt.
