A new Balvenie, matured for 14 years in traditional oak casks before being transferred to Caribbean rum casks. A match made in heaven for some! Tasting note: Deep amber gold. Soft, plush aromas of toasted marshmallow followed by vanilla custard tart, toasted cereals and clove, echoe in a light to medium bodied, vanilla-malt profile with hints of dried fig, rum-like sugars and delicate toasted cereals towards the finish. Perfectly balanced with featherweight spices adding vibrancy. The lightness of the Balvenie spirit lends itself to wood finishes. This one works. 43% Alc./Vol.

Product Information: Part of Dalmore's Principal Collection, the 12 Year Old Sherry Cask Select is an elegant Highland Single Malt, showcasing a unique Sherry finish that balances the nutty notes of Oloroso with the sweet influence of rich Pedro Ximénez. This expression offers twice the Sherry influence compared to Dalmore's standard 12-year-old, bottled at a higher strength to deliver a richer profile of sweet fruit and luxurious spice. Awarded 96 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2020, this whisky is described by Master Distiller Richard Paterson as “elegance personified, displaying a multitude of spectacular flavours—a truly decadent masterpiece.” The spirit begins its maturation journey in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops the hallmark Dalmore house style of chocolate, orange, and spice. It is then fully finished in specially crafted Sherry casks, blended from aged Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez, designed exclusively for The Dalmore. The result is a stunning single malt, rich with sweet fruit, warming spice, and the unmistakable elegance of Dalmore. Maker: The Dalmore’s regal heritage dates back to 1263, symbolized by the iconic 12-point Royal Stag that adorns each bottle. This emblem was a gift to Colin of Kintail, the first chieftain of Clan Mackenzie, after he saved King Alexander III of Scotland from a charging stag. In 1839, Alexander Matheson founded The Dalmore distillery, with a vision to create an exceptional single malt. In 1867, Clan Mackenzie descendants took ownership, marking the beginning of the distillery's rise to prominence and adopting the Royal Stag as a guarantee of quality. The distillery's unique collection of stills produces a robust and fruity new make spirit, perfect for long and complex maturation. For nearly five decades, Richard Paterson has pioneered cask curation at The Dalmore. Now, Master Whisky Maker Gregg Glass, awarded Master Distiller of the Year 2023, continues this tradition of excellence, blending time-honoured methods with modern innovation. Philosophy: For nearly 200 years, The Dalmore has been guided by an unbroken lineage of visionary whisky makers. Through long-standing partnerships with the world's finest bodegas and wineries, the distillery secures access to the best casks available. Under the watchful eye of Dalmore’s whisky makers, each cask is meticulously curated to unlock the full potential of their single malt. The result is a whisky that blends time, craftsmanship, and artistry into a masterpiece—unparalleled in its complexity and refinement.
